• JR Omura Line: Shin-Ōmura ⇄ Ōmura Rail Yard

Takematsu opened on 25 May 1922 as an addition to what was then the Nagasaki Main Line. The route through the station was redesignated as the Ōmura Line on 1 December 1934, when the Nagasaki Main Line title was assigned to a different alignment. JR Kyushu took over the station on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of Japanese National Railways, and the original station building lost the war: it had burnt down in the air raid of 30 July 1945. The current building dates from a 2008 reconstruction. The staffed ticket window closed on 1 December 2022 and station-services outsourcing ended on 1 October 2023, leaving Takematsu unstaffed.

After the 2024 closure of the Furano–Shintoku section of the Nemuro Main Line shifted Japan's longest one-way ticket route, Takematsu became the south-western terminus of that record-setting itinerary.
