• Nishitetsu Tenjin Omuta Line: Kamachi ⇄ Yanagawa (Fukuoka)

Yakabe Station opened on 1 October 1937 on the Tenjin Ōmuta Line in the city of Yanagawa, Fukuoka. In September 1942 the operating company merged with the Kyushu Electric Tramway, and three days later it was renamed Nishi-Nippon Railway, the operator that retains the line today. The station was given the station number T38 when station numbering was introduced in February 2017, and a centralised remote station-management system was installed on 1 April 2021, by which time it was already unstaffed. It is an elevated single-platform halt with no station building, and serves only local services on the Tenjin Ōmuta Line.

Platform length only accommodates three cars, so longer trains open doors on a subset of carriages.
