• Ibusuki Makurazaki Line: Irino ⇄ Higashi-Kaimon

Kaimon Station opened on 22 March 1960 as a stop on the JNR Ibusuki Line, in what is today Kaimon Jicchō in Ibusuki. It was originally a passing station with an island platform and two tracks, but became unstaffed in January 1963. The line serving it was renamed the Ibusuki Makurazaki Line on 31 October 1963. In 1976 the original station building was leased by the town and repurposed as a tourist information centre and café; it was demolished in March 2002. At the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Kyushu. Only a small shelter on a single side platform remains today, although traces of the former two-track layout can still be seen in the alignment.

The former station building stood in for "Haru Station" in the TBS drama "Aoi Tori"; the structure was later torn down in 2002.
