• JR Chikuhi Line: Meinohama ⇄ Imajuku

Shimoyamato Station opened on 20 July 1986 as an in-fill station on the existing Chikuhi Line in Nishi-ku, Fukuoka, when the line was operated by Japanese National Railways. It is located 1.6 km from the line's starting point at Meinohama. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Kyushu. The station has two side platforms joined by an overhead footbridge with elevators, and management of the staffed ticket window — including a Midori no Madoguchi facility — has been outsourced to JR Kyushu Tetsudou Eigyou Co., a wholly owned subsidiary specialising in station services. Both local and weekday rapid services stop here.

The Fukuoka City Subway's Meinohama train depot is nearby.
