• JR Geibi Line: Yatsugi ⇄ Shiomachi

Kamisugi Station opened on 7 June 1922 as Shiomachi Station (塩町駅), the original terminus of the Geibi Railway extension from what was then Miyoshi Station (now Nishi-Miyoshi). The line was extended to Bingo-Shobara in December 1923, making Shiomachi a through station. The Geibi Railway was nationalized in 1933, and the station was renamed Kamisugi on 1 January 1934. Freight handling ended in December 1971, parcel handling and full staffing ended in October 1983, and on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR West with the dissolution of JNR. The site retains a wide yard from its freight days and an old wood-and-tile station building, though the station itself is unstaffed.

The station opened under the name Shiomachi, which it kept for over a decade — a different Shiomachi Station now sits two stops down the line.
