History[]

In 1913, the Miyazaki Prefectural Railway (宮崎県営鉄道) had opened a line from Miyazaki northwards to Hirose (now closed). After the Miyazaki Prefectural Railway was nationalized on 21 September 1917, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) undertook the subsequent extension of the track which it designated as the Miyazaki Main Line. Expanding north in phases, the track reached Hyūga-Nagai which was established as the northern terminus on 29 October 1922. It became a through-station on 1 July 1923 when the track was extended to Ichitana. At the same time, JGR had been expanding its Hoshū Line south from Kokura down the east coast of Kyushu, reaching its southern terminus of Shigeoka just 9 km north of Ichitana by March 1922. The link up between the two lines was achieved on 15 December 1923, and through traffic was thus established from Kokura through Hyūga-Nagai to Miyakonojō. The entire stretch of track was then renamed the Nippō Main Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[4][5][6]

Passenger statistics[]

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 3 passengers (boarding only) per day.[7]
