• JR Yamaguchi Line: Watarigawa ⇄ Shinome

Chōmonkyō Station was opened on 29 April 1922 as a temporary halt on the Yamaguchi Line and was upgraded to a full passenger station on 18 July 1928. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 it came under the West Japan Railway Company. The station sits 32.3 km from Shin-Yamaguchi at the northern entrance to the Chōmonkyō Gorge. It is a single ground-level side platform serving one bi-directional track, with no station building and no staff; the only feature on site is the platform itself, accessed directly from the adjacent road. The neighbouring Chōmonkyō Gorge — a designated Place of Scenic Beauty — is the main visitor draw.
