• Nishi-Kyushu Line: Tabirahiratoguchi ⇄ Nakatabira

Nishi-Tabira Station opened on 11 March 1989 as a stop on the Matsuura Railway Nishi-Kyūshū Line. The single side platform sits on a low embankment with no station building, only a waiting shelter and a toilet; the entrance is by stairs from the Tabira-Hirado-guchi end of the platform. The station is the nearest stop to Tabira Catholic Church and to the Tabira Insect Park, and in 2015 the operator gave it the nickname "Tabira Cathedral and Village of Insects." It is located in Tabira-cho Ogita-men, Hirado, Nagasaki Prefecture.

Local farmers plant rapeseed in the rice fields around the station each year, so in spring the platform is surrounded by yellow blossoms.
