Kami-Kagawa Station (上嘉川駅, Kami-Kagawa-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Yamaguchi, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the West Japan Railway Company (JR West).^[1]

Kami-Kagawa Station is served by the JR West Ube Line, and is located 2.8 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Shin-Yamaguchi.

The station consists of one ground-level side platform serving a single bi-directional track. There is no station building, but only a small shelter on the platform, and the station is unattended.

Kami-Kagawa Station was opened on 26 March 1925 when the Ube Railway was extended from Ogōri Station (present-day Shin-Yamaguchi) to Hon-Ajisu Station (present-day Ajisu Station). The line was nationalized in 1943, becoming the Ube Higashi Line, and was renamed the Ube Line on 1 February 1948. With the privatization of the Japan National Railway (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan railway Company (JR West).

In fiscal 2020, the station was used by an average of 60 passengers daily.^[2]
