• Kagoshima Main Line: Ongagawa ⇄ Kyoikudai-mae

Ebitsu Station is a JR Kyushu station on the Kagoshima Main Line in Okagaki, Fukuoka Prefecture, 39.4 km from the line's start at Mojikō. The Railway Bureau opened it on 6 February 1910 as an added stop on the existing main line. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1961 and parcel handling on 14 March 1985; JR Kyushu inherited the station at privatization on 1 April 1987. The current depot dates from 6 December 1988 (with a new forecourt connecting to National Route 3), and a north–south concourse opened on 17 December 2016. Since 15 March 2025 every Kagoshima Main Line rapid service stops at the station.

When Okagata and Yahagi villages merged in 1907 to form Okagaki, the Yahagi name was lost, so the head of Onga District deliberately named the new station not 'Okagaki' but 'Ebitsu', after the main settlement of the former Yahagi village, as a gesture toward its residents.
