• Kagoshima Main Line: Yoshino (Fukuoka) ⇄ Omuta

Ginsui Station opened on 1 April 1926 as a new stop added by the Railway Bureau to the existing Kagoshima Main Line in eastern Ōmuta. Freight handling ended on 15 April 1978 and parcel handling on 1 February 1984; the station became unstaffed on 1 November 1986. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu took over operation. SUGOCA acceptance began on 1 March 2009, and the ticket office was outsourced to a kan'i itaku agent on 1 April 2016 before the ticket window was withdrawn entirely on 1 April 2024. A new toilet block, replacing a 1979 pit facility, was inaugurated on 24 February 2025 after a community crowdfunding campaign.

The station's name comes from "Shirogane River," the brook running through the area, whose waters were once said to glint silver — local residents and three nearby high schools jointly crowdfunded a 2025 rebuild of the station toilet, which had been a 1979 pit facility.
