• Shimabara Railway Line: Shimabara-Funatsu

Shimabarakō Station opened on 11 November 1960 as Shimabara Gaikō Station and is the terminus of the Shimabara Railway Line. Its switching facilities were dismantled in 1997, leaving the previously two-track layout in use only on the side adjoining the building. The original station building was completely destroyed by fire on 2 November 2010, and the station was renamed to its present name on 1 October 2019. Located 43.2 km from Isahaya in the city of Shimabara, Nagasaki, it is now an unattended stop with one side platform and a single track and has no automatic ticket vending machines.

The traces of Shimabarakō's earlier two-platform layout are still visible from the working platform — the unused track survives but the level crossing that once led to it has been deliberately filled in, sealing the second platform off from passengers.
