• Ibusuki Makurazaki Line: Kagoshima-Chūō ⇄ Minami-Kagoshima

Kōrimoto Station opened on 1 December 1986 on the Japanese National Railways' Ibusuki Makurazaki Line between Nishi-Kagoshima (now Kagoshima-Chūō) and Minami-Kagoshima, and passed to JR Kyushu on 1 April 1987 when JNR was privatised. The above-ground station sits 2.2 km from the line origin at Kagoshima-Chūō and has a single side platform. Platform length was extended from 90 m to 112 m in March 1990, and SUGOCA IC cards became usable from 1 December 2012. The station opened as an unstaffed halt, was at some point made staffed, and was then destaffed again on 30 May 2020 when JR Kyushu introduced its remote-assistance "ANSWER" Smart Support Station system.

Despite sharing the place-name "Kōrimoto", JR Kyushu's Kōrimoto Station and the Kagoshima City Tram's Kōrimoto stop are about 700 m apart in different sub-districts, so the actual closest tram stop to the JR station is Junshin-gakuen-mae.
