• Nagasaki Main Line: Higashisono ⇄ Nishi-Isahaya ⇄ Ichinuno

Kikitsu Station opened on 27 November 1898 as an intermediate stop on the Kyushu Railway's newly completed Nagayo–Ōmura section, which finally linked the line south from Tosu with the segment north from Urakami. Control passed to Japanese Government Railways when the Kyushu Railway was nationalised on 1 July 1907, and the route was redesignated the Nagasaki Main Line on 12 October 1909. On 2 October 1972 a shorter inland bypass via Ichinuno opened, making Kikitsu the junction between the old coastal route through Nagayo and the new line. JR Kyushu took over the station at the 1987 JNR privatisation, and overhead electrification was removed between Hizen-Hama and Nagasaki on 23 September 2022.

The station still uses its wooden station building, and it is the junction where the Nagasaki Main Line's inland "new line" via Ichinuno, opened in 1972, diverges from the older coastal route through Nagayo, which is measured from Kikitsu as its starting point.
