• Kashii Line: Sue Central ⇄ Umi

Shinbaru Station opened on 1 June 1905 as the new southern terminus of the privately built Hakata Bay Railway, when the line was extended south from Sue. It became a through-station on 29 December 1905 when the track was further extended to Umi. Wartime mergers transferred the station to Nishitetsu in 1942, and the Saitozaki-to-Umi route was nationalised in 1944, becoming the Kashii Line. JR Kyushu took over on 1 April 1987 after privatisation. Goods and parcel handling had already ended in 1974 with the station becoming unstaffed; SUGOCA acceptance began on 1 March 2009. On 14 March 2015 the station joined the "Smart Support Station" scheme that remotely supports the otherwise unstaffed Kashii Line stops.

The land in front of the Shinbaru bus stop on the east side of the station, where Shinbaru Park and the Shinbaru community hall now stand, was once the headquarters office of the Imperial Navy coal mine and the mouth of its Number 4 pit; the park now gathers relics of that operation, including the mine's founding memorial and the stonework of the Number 3 pit mouth, brought from Sakurabaru in Umi.
