• JR Omura Line: Shin-Omura ⇄ Omura Rail Yard

Takematsu opened on 25 May 1922 as an addition to what was then the Nagasaki Main Line. The route through the station was redesignated as the Ōmura Line on 1 December 1934, when the Nagasaki Main Line title was assigned to a different alignment. The first station building burnt down in an American air raid on 30 July 1945, and the present building dates from a 2008 reconstruction. JR Kyushu took over the station on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of Japanese National Railways. The ticket window closed on 11 March 2022, station-services outsourcing ended on 1 October 2023, and Takematsu has been unstaffed since.

After the 2024 closure of the Furano–Shintoku section of the Nemuro Main Line shifted Japan's longest one-way ticket route, Takematsu became the south-western terminus of that record-setting itinerary.
