• JR Hanwa Line: Izumi-Fuchu ⇄ Shimomatsu

Kumeda Station opened on 16 June 1930 when the Hanwa Electric Railway extended from Izumi-Fuchū to Hanwa-Higashi-Wakayama (today's Wakayama). Absorbed by Nankai in 1940 as part of the Nankai Yamate Line, the line was nationalised on 1 May 1944 and reorganised as JNR's Hanwa Line. The station passed to JR West at the 1987 privatisation. Station numbering JR-R38 was introduced in March 2018, a new west exit building entered service on 25 September 2023, and the staffed Midori-no-Madoguchi ticket office closed on 30 November 2024.

Side tracks alongside each platform are remnants from the station's earlier four-track configuration, which was used to allow expresses to overtake racegoer specials bound for the nearby Haruki racecourse before the 1940s.
