• Nishitetsu Tenjin Omuta Line: Kamachi ⇄ Yanagawa (Fukuoka)

Yakabe Station opened on 1 October 1937 on what was then the Kyushu Railway's Tenjin Ōmuta Line in the city of Yanagawa, Fukuoka. In September 1942 the operating company merged with the Kyushu Electric Tramway, and three days later it was renamed Nishi-Nippon Railway, the operator that retains the line today. The station was given the line number T38 when station numbering was introduced in February 2017, and was switched to centralised remote management on 1 April 2021, leaving it unstaffed. It is an elevated single-platform halt with no station building, and serves only local services on the Tenjin Ōmuta Line.

Platform length only accommodates three cars, so longer trains open doors on a subset of carriages.
