History[]

Japanese Government Railways (JGR) had opened the then Kokuto-West Line (国都西線) which, by July 1930, extended from Nishi-Kokubu (now Hayato) to its norther terminus at Kirishima-Jingū. Further to the north, another line, the then Kokuto East Line (国都東線) had also been laid which, by November 1931, extended from Nishi-Miyakonojō to its southern terminus at Ōsumi-Ōkawara. Subsequently, the two lines were linked and Kita-Naganoda was built as an intermediate station along the new linking track, opening on 6 December 1932. With the completion of this link, through-traffic was achieved from Kokura in the north of Kyushu island all the way to Kagoshima in the south. The entire stretch of track was designated as 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.[5][6][7]
