• Kakogawa Line: Tanikawa ⇄ Funamachiguchi

Kugemura Station, in the city of Tamba in Hyōgo Prefecture, opened on 27 December 1924 with the inauguration of the Banshū-Tan Railway between Nomura (now Nishiwaki-shi) and Tanikawa. The Banshū-Tan was nationalised on 1 June 1943, bringing the station under Japanese National Railways' Kakogawa Line. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1973 and the station was made unattended on 1 November 1986. JR West took over operations at JNR's privatisation on 1 April 1987. Although a busy traffic point for pulp-mill freight into the late 1950s, passenger usage has fallen sharply since freight ended, and the original station building was replaced by the present, smaller one in March 2019.

The 2019 replacement station building received an honourable mention in that year's Japan Railway Architecture Association award for the Buildings category.
