History[]

The private Miyazaki Light Railway (宮崎軽便鉄道) (later renamed the Miyazaki Railway) opened the station on 22 October 1923 with the name Aoshima Onsen (青島温泉) as an additional station on a line which it had laid in 1913 between Minami-Miyazaki and Uchiumi (now closed). On 21 March 1939, the station was renamed Kodomonokuni. The station closed when the Miyazaki Railway ceased operations on 1 July 1962. Subsequently, Japanese National Railways (JNR) extended its then Shibushi Line north from Kitagō towards Minami-Miyazaki on the same route and reopened Kodomonokuni as an intermediate station on 8 May 1963. The route was renamed the Nichinan Line on the same day. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[4][5][6]
