• Nishi-Kyushu Line: Imari ⇄ Kanatake

Kawahigashi Station opened on 11 March 1989 in Niri-chō, Imari, Saga Prefecture, as an infill stop on the third-sector Matsuura Railway's Nishi-Kyūshū Line. The line itself had been transferred to the Matsuura Railway in 1988, and Kawahigashi sits 11.6 km from the line's start at Arita. Trains on this branch terminate at either Arita or Imari. The station is a simple ground-level halt with a single side platform serving a bidirectional track. There is no station building, but a waiting room is provided on the platform and a toilet, vending machine and public phone are located below the platform.

In January 2024 the station-name signs at seven stations in Imari, Kawahigashi included, were replaced using money raised through a crowdfunding campaign.
