• JR Chikuhi Line: Fukuyoshi ⇄ Hamasaki

Shikaka Station opened on 5 December 1923 as an intermediate stop on the private Kitakyushu Railway's new line between Fukuyoshi and Hamasaki. When the Kitakyushu Railway was nationalised on 1 October 1937, Japanese Government Railways took over the station and designated the route as the Chikuhi Line. Control passed to JR Kyushu when Japanese National Railways was privatised on 1 April 1987. The original 1938 station building was demolished after construction of a replacement began in 2012. Today it is an unstaffed island-platform halt in Itoshima, Fukuoka, served only by Chikuhi Line local trains, 30.2 km from the line's origin at Meinohama.

Despite being inside the city of Itoshima, Shikaka sits on the western edge of the former Nijō-cho with just a handful of houses, a small fishing port and an inn — reached by climbing roughly 100 metres up a narrow slope from National Route 202.
