History[]

The private Miyazaki Light Railway (宮崎軽便鉄道) (later renamed the Miyazaki Railway) opened the station on 31 October 1913 as an intermediate station on a line it had laid between Minami-Miyazaki and Uchiumi (now closed). 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 Tayoshi as an intermediate station on 8 May 1963 but closed it on 1 October 1971. In 1996 JR Kyushu built a branch line from this location to Miyazaki Airport and reopened the station on 18 July 1996 as the starting point of the Miyazaki Kūkō Line.[4][5]

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 37 passengers (boarding only) per day.[6]
