• Onoda Line: Suzumeda ⇄ Nagato-Motoyama

Hamagōchi Station opened on 1 June 1957 with the inauguration of the Onoda Line branch from Suzumeda to Nagato-Motoyama in Sanyo-Onoda, Yamaguchi Prefecture. It has been unstaffed since opening and has no station building — only a single ground-level side platform with a small shelter on it. JR West succeeded JNR with the 1 April 1987 privatisation. The branch carries only morning and evening trains, and the platform sits 1.3 km from the junction at Suzumeda, surrounded by a hamlet of houses and fields with no large-scale facilities.

Average daily ridership in fiscal 2020 was just seven passengers — one of the lowest figures on any active JR West line, reflecting the branch's morning-and-evening-only timetable.
