• Meitetsu Kakamigahara Line: Ogase ⇄ Unumajuku

Haba Station opened on 20 September 1927 as a Kakamigahara Railway station, in what is now Unuma-Haba-machi 6-chōme, Kakamigahara, Gifu Prefecture. The operator was merged into Meigi Railway on 28 March 1935, and Meigi was renamed Meitetsu (Nagoya Railroad) on 1 August 1935. The station was suspended in 1944 and resumed passenger operations on 15 October 1947, unstaffed from that point on. The Toranpasu shared smart-card system was introduced on 14 March 2007, manaca service began on 11 February 2011, and Toranpasu service ended on 29 February 2012. The station has two opposed side platforms for six-car trains; the wickets on each platform face the Shin-Unuma end, and there is no internal passage between platforms. It is station KG02 on the Meitetsu Kakamigahara Line.

Just east of Haba, the line descends from the Kisogawa river terrace at 33 ‰, the steepest gradient anywhere on the Kakamigahara Line — a result of how this stretch of the line had to drop from the high terrace toward Unuma-juku.
