• Mine Line: Minami-Omine ⇄ Atsu

Shirōgahara Station is on the JR West Mine Line in Higashiatsu-chō, Mine, Yamaguchi Prefecture, 13.2 km from the junction with the Sanyō Main Line at Asa. It opened on 13 September 1905 as the Sanyō Railway extended its line between Asa and Ōmine. The Sanyō Railway was nationalised on 1 December 1906; the route was designated the Ōmine Line in 1909 and reorganised into the Mine Line in 1924 (the writing changed from 美禰 to 美祢 in 1963). Freight handling ended on 1 February 1962, parcel handling on 1 February 1984, and the station was unstaffed on 1 February 1985. It passed to JR West on 1 April 1987. Service has been suspended twice by Asa River flooding — once after 15 July 2010 (restored 26 September 2011), and again from 1 July 2023.

The three Sanden Kōtsū Mine Line bus stops in the area — Kawahigashi, Enokawara, and Shirōgahara — all lie on Yamaguchi Prefectural Route 33 (the Shimonoseki–Mine road) on the far side of the Asa River from the station. They stand at roughly the same distance from it, but reaching any of them means crossing the river.
