• JR Hanwa Line: Izumi-Fuchu ⇄ Shimomatsu

Kumeda Station opened on 16 June 1930 when the Hanwa Electric Railway extended from Izumi-Fuchū to Hanwa-Higashi-Wakayama (today's Wakayama). Absorbed by Nankai in 1940 as part of the Nankai Yamate Line, the line was nationalised on 1 May 1944 and reorganised as JNR's Hanwa Line. The station passed to JR West at the 1987 privatisation. Station numbering JR-R38 was introduced in March 2018, a new west exit building entered service on 25 September 2023, and the staffed Midori-no-Madoguchi ticket office closed on 30 November 2024.

Sidings branching off behind each platform are remnants of the station's earlier two-platform, four-track layout, which from the Hanwa Electric Railway era allowed faster trains to overtake and accommodated the special trains run for the nearby Haruki racecourse; the passing tracks were later removed once racecourse traffic ended and overtaking was concentrated at Izumi-Fuchū and Higashi-Kishiwada.
