History
Kamachi Station opened on 1 October 1937 as a station on the Nishi-Nippon Railroad (Nishitetsu) Tenjin-Ōmuta Line in Kamō, Yanagawa, Fukuoka Prefecture — station number T37. Until the 2005 municipal merger it was the only railway station in Yanagawa City. ICOCA-compatible nimoca service began on 18 May 2008, and on 22 March 2014 the station's window hours were shortened (it had previously been staffed from first to last train). Station numbering was introduced on 1 February 2017, and on 1 April 2021 the introduction of the centralised station management system made the station unstaffed all day.

Notes
Kamachi has two opposed ground-level side platforms with seven-car effective length and is unstaffed. The station building and ticket gate sit at the southern (Ōmuta-side) end of the Fukuoka-bound platform, with the Ōmuta-bound platform reached by an in-station level crossing. Just south of Kamachi the Tenjin-Ōmuta Line becomes single-track all the way to Kaiden.
