• JR Ube Line: Tokiwa (Yamaguchi) ⇄ Ubemisaki

Kusae Station opened on 1 August 1923 as a halt on the Ube Railway when the line was extended from Tokonami to Ube-Shinkawa. The railway was nationalised in 1943, the stop was upgraded to a full station, and the line was renamed the Ube Line on 1 February 1948. The station was unstaffed and converted to simplified outsourced ticketing in 1971, and the building was rebuilt in a simple form in March 1978. JR West took over operation in 1987 at privatisation. After the local shop holding the ticket-sales contract closed in November 2011, the station has been fully unstaffed.

In October 2017 the exterior walls of the small station shelter were decorated with murals of local plants and animals by the JR Ube Line promotion council.
