History
Kadomatsu Station opened on 9 March 1987 as a Japanese National Railways temporary halt on the existing Sasaguri Line track. With the privatisation of JNR less than a month later, JR Kyushu took control and upgraded the stop to a full station. The layout was expanded to two side platforms on a 1991 rebuild. Automatic gates were installed on 7 November 2000, SUGOCA was introduced on 1 March 2009, and the station became a daytime rapid-service stop on 13 March 2021. The ticket window closed on 11 March 2022 and the station became unstaffed the following day. There are no lifts or escalators.

Notes
Kadomatsu opened as an unstaffed temporary halt less than a month before JNR was broken up — JR Kyushu inherited it on 1 April 1987 and immediately promoted it to a full station.
