• Fukuchiyama Line: Furuichi (Hyogo) ⇄ Aimoto (Hyogo)

Kusano Station opened on 27 March 1958 on the Japanese National Railways Fukuchiyama Line, between Aimoto and Furuichi, as a petition station whose construction costs were borne entirely by the locality. It came under JR West at the 1 April 1987 privatisation, and the "JR Takarazuka Line" branding for the surrounding section was introduced the following year. Doubling of the track on 8 March 1997 expanded the layout from a single platform to two opposed side platforms. Automatic ticket gates entered service in January 1999, ICOCA on 1 November 2003, and station number JR-G66 on 17 March 2018. The station is on a 50.5 km stretch of line, unstaffed but managed by Fukuchiyama.

To avoid confusion with the identically named Kusano Station on the Jōban Line in Fukushima, tickets issued from this station carry the prefix "(福) Kusano" in their printed station-name field.
