• Ibusuki Makurazaki Line: Higashi-Kaimon ⇄ Nishi-Oyama

Satsuma-Kawashiri Station opened on 22 March 1960 as a stop on the JNR Ibusuki Line, in the Senda district of Kaimon, now part of Ibusuki. It began as an unstaffed station handling passengers from railcars only. On 31 October 1963 the line was renamed the Ibusuki Makurazaki Line, and on 1 April 1987 the stop transferred to JR Kyushu at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways. The station has no building and consists of a single side platform with a simple roof. It is, after neighbouring Nishi-Ōyama, the second-southernmost conventional railway station in Japan.
