History

Kamei Station opened on 27 August 1913 on the Kumamoto Electric Railway Kikuchi Line, 4.6 km from the line's origin at Kami-Kumamoto. On 1 April 1949 the alignment between Fujisaki-gū-mae and Kamei was rerouted from a passage through Murozono to a new section via Kita-Kumamoto. The ground-level halt today has a single island platform and no station building, sitting near National Route 3 in Kumamoto's Kita ward. It became part of the railway's IC card environment on 1 April 2015 with the introduction of the regional Kumamon IC CARD, and station numbering (KD10) was added on 1 October 2019.

Notes

A wooden catenary pole between Kamei and Kita-Kumamoto still carries painted advertising for the now-defunct Taiyō Department Store, visible as of October 2025.
