• Kagoshima Main Line: Koga (Fukuoka) ⇄ Shingu-Chuo

Shishibu Station opened on 14 March 2009 as an infill station on JR Kyushu's Kagoshima Main Line, following a formal 2006 agreement among Koga City, the Shishibu New Station Promotion Council, and JR Kyushu. The station name, written in hiragana rather than the original kanji 鹿部, was announced on 24 September 2008 — the kana spelling was chosen to make the name accessible to riders unfamiliar with the local reading and to avoid confusion with JR Hokkaido's Shikabe Station. It has two opposing side platforms and an elevated station building. SUGOCA IC service has been available from opening. The Midori no Madoguchi reservation counter closed on 11 March 2022.

The Japanese name was deliberately written in hiragana rather than the local kanji 鹿部 to avoid confusion with the identically spelled but differently read Shikabe Station on JR Hokkaido.
