• San'in Main Line: Takibe ⇄ Ukahongo

Nagato-Futami Station entered service on 16 August 1925 when the Japanese National Rail Kogushi Line was extended from Kogushi Station to Takibe Station; the new stop handled both passengers and freight from the start. On 24 February 1933 the Kogushi Line was absorbed into the San'in Main Line, and freight service was discontinued on 1 August 1961. With the 1 April 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways the station came under JR West. Located in the Hōhoku area of Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, the unstaffed stop sits halfway up a mountainside, with its island platform reached by a stairway through a tunnel from the station building.

Because the region's residents wanted Takibe and Kottoi stations sited inland — which also kept the project within budget — rather than running the whole line along the Sea of Japan coast as first planned, the tracks approaching Nagato-Futami swing through curves of nearly 90 degrees.
