• Chikuho Main Line: Keisen ⇄ Chikuzen Uchino

Japanese Government Railways opened Kami-Honami Station on 15 July 1928 as an intermediate stop on the then Nagao Line when it extended the line from Nagao (now Keisen) to a new southern terminus at Chikuzen-Uchino, in the city of Iizuka, Fukuoka Prefecture. The station's siting itself was a late addition triggered by the founding of Kaho Mining, which used a dedicated freight branch from the platform to ship coal. On 7 December 1929 the Nagao Line was merged into the Chikuho Main Line. Freight ended in 1961, parcels in 1984 alongside un-staffing, and JR Kyushu took over in April 1987. The combined station / chamber-of-commerce building was rebuilt in March 1986. Station number JG02 was added on 28 September 2018.

There was no plan for a station here when work on the Nagao–Chikuzen-Uchino section began in March 1926; Kaho Mining was founded at about the same time, and in 1927 it was decided to build Kami-Honami as the junction station for the spur that would carry the company's coal, so the station owes its existence to the mine.
