• Nishitetsu Tenjin Omuta Line: Kushiwara ⇄ Hanabatake

Nishitetsu Kurume Station opened on 12 April 1924 as Kurume Station on the Kyushu Railway, the predecessor of Nishi-Nippon Railroad. On 1 July 1939 it was renamed Kyutetsu Kurume Station. The operator merged with the Kyushu Electric Tramway on 19 September 1942 and adopted the Nishi-Nippon Railway corporate name three days later, on 22 September 1942, at which point the station took its present name. The current station building dates from 1969 and houses two opposed elevated island platforms on the third storey, with the bus terminal occupying the ground floor — an integrated configuration that makes it the principal interchange for the city of Kurume on the Tenjin Ōmuta Line.

Bus and rail share the same building: passengers transfer between the third-floor elevated platforms and the ground-floor Nishitetsu Kurume bus terminal without ever leaving the premises.
