• JR Omura Line: Chiwata ⇄ Omura Rail Yard

Matsubara Station opened on 20 January 1898 as an intermediate stop on the private Kyushu Railway's newly extended line between Haiki and the then-terminus at Ōmura. When the Kyushu Railway was nationalised on 1 July 1907, control passed to Japanese Government Railways. The route was redesignated the Nagasaki Main Line on 12 October 1909; on 1 December 1934 a new Nagasaki Main Line was designated and the Haiki–Isahaya track including Matsubara became the Ōmura Line. Control passed to JR Kyushu at the 1987 JNR privatisation. The station, in Ōmura, Nagasaki Prefecture, is unstaffed with two side platforms linked by a level crossing.

A long siding once branched from Matsubara to deliver coal to the now-demolished Ōmura thermal power plant, the site of which today hosts a Kyūden Mirai solar farm.
