• JR Sanyo Main Line: Onoura ⇄ Otake

Kuba Station opened on 25 September 1897 as a passenger and freight stop on the privately built San'yō Railway when the line was extended from Hiroshima to Tokuyama. Nationalisation in 1906 brought the station under government control, and the route was redesignated as the San'yō Main Line in 1909. Freight handling ended in 1962, and on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR West with the breakup of Japanese National Railways. Located in Ōtake, Hiroshima Prefecture, the station lies 336.4 kilometres from Kobe and consists of two side platforms linked by a footbridge.

Kuba reopened on 9 July 2018 after being closed by the early-July torrential rains, but the Sanyō-Main-Line Rapid "City Liner" calling at the station was suspended at the same time and did not return until March 2020.
