History
Kusubashi Station opened on 29 April 1958 in Yahatanishi-ku, Kitakyūshū, on the Chikuhō Electric Railroad. On 17 October 1959 the Chikutetsu Kusubashi depot, the only car depot on the line, was completed adjacent to the station. The depot started with two tracks; tracks 3 and 4 were added in 1962 and tracks 5 and 6 in 1976, although track 5 was abolished around 2018 after the 2000 series was retired. The line's operations office moved into the depot from the Kurosaki Shako-mae stop on 11 January 1999. The unstaffed station has two side platforms connected by a level crossing and carries the station number CK16; some peak and night services originate or terminate here.

Notes
Although the station is unstaffed, the Chikuhō Electric Railroad's operations office and depot sit immediately alongside the platforms, and lost-and-found items and commuter or coupon tickets can be picked up at that office rather than at the station itself.
