History[]

Japanese Government Railways (JGR) had opened the Miyazaki Line from Yoshimatsu to Miyakonojō on 8 October 1913. The track was extended east in phases, with Aoidake opening as the new terminus on 21 March 1916. On 25 October 1916, the track linked up with a track from Miyazaki at Kiyotake and line was renamed the Miyazaki Main Line on 21 September 1917. By 1923, the track from Miyazaki had reached north to link up with the track of the Nippō Main Line at Shigeoka. On 15 December 1923, the entire stretch of track from Shigeoka through Miyazaki to Yoshimatsu, including Aoidake, was designated as part of the Nippō Main Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, the Aoidake came under the control of JR Kyushu.[4][5]

Passenger statistics[]

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 14 passengers (boarding only) per day.[6]
