• Tokushima Line: Sako (Tokushima) ⇄ Akui

Kuramoto Station opened on 12 September 1899 under the privately run Tokushima Railway in what is now central-western Tokushima city. When the Tokushima Railway was nationalised on 1 September 1907, Japanese Government Railways took over and operated the stop as part of the Tokushima Line, later the Tokushima Main Line. JR Shikoku succeeded JNR at privatisation on 1 April 1987, and on 1 June 1988 the route reverted to the name Tokushima Line. The station is unstaffed; the building functions only as a waiting room, with two opposed side platforms and several sidings branching off both tracks.

Kuramoto anchors the western edge of Tokushima's university and hospital district — the Kuramoto Campus of Tokushima University, Tokushima University Hospital, and Tokushima Prefectural Central Hospital all sit within the station's catchment.
