• Kagoshima Main Line: Sendai (Kagoshima) ⇄ Kobanchaya

Kumanojō Station was opened on 1 June 1914 by Japanese Government Railways on what later became the Kagoshima Main Line, in present-day Satsumasendai, Kagoshima Prefecture. After more than seven decades under successive incarnations of the national railway, it passed to JR Kyushu at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. The above-ground station has two side platforms serving two tracks and a small castle-styled station building joined to the platforms by a footbridge. In fiscal 2020 it averaged 349 boarding passengers per day, placing it 254th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.

The compact station building is modelled on a Japanese castle keep — a nod to the "jō" (城, "castle") in the station's name.
