• Ibusuki Makurazaki Line: Kiire ⇄ Nukumi

Maenohama Station opened on 19 December 1934 as a station of the Ministry of Railways' Ibusuki Line (now the Ibusuki-Makurazaki Line). Cargo handling was abolished on 20 August 1962. The station was placed under business entrustment to Nihon Kankōsha on 1 April 1963, and on 31 October the same year the Ibusuki Line was renamed the Ibusuki-Makurazaki Line. On 8 March 1983, with the introduction of centralised traffic control to the line, the station was made unstaffed and parcel handling was abolished. With the breakup and privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station passed to JR Kyushu.

Maenohama is a ground-level station with two opposed side platforms connected by a footbridge, and is permitted to host train passings. The station is unstaffed. Nearby is the 1910 (Meiji 43) Kaitei Bridge, registered as a modern civil-engineering heritage double bridge.
