• Nichinan Line: Hyuga-Kitakata ⇄ Fukushima-Imamachi

Kushima Station opened on 15 April 1935 as Fukushima-Nakamachi, an intermediate stop on the then Shibushi Line, on the same day the line was extended north to its new terminus at Yowara. Located in Kushima in Miyazaki Prefecture, the station sits 74.4 km from the line origin at Minami-Miyazaki. The station was renamed Kushima on 1 October 1959. The route became the Nichinan Line on 8 May 1963, and the station passed to JR Kyushu on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of JNR. It was destaffed on 1 April 2004 and reorganised as a kan'i-itaku station. A new station building was completed in March 2023.

Most of the present station building is occupied by "Kushima Eki no Eki", a produce-and-seafood marketplace; the building was bought by Kushima City, which leases it to a private operator that runs the market, leaving the waiting area and the tourism association's space reduced in size.
