History

Former station building in May 2010

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 Nobeoka which was established as the northern terminus on 1 May 1922. It became a through-station on 29 October 1922 when the track was extended to Hyūga-Nagai. By 1923, the track had approached the southern terminus of the then Hoshū Line which JGR had been extending southwards from Kokura down the east coast of Kyushu to reach Shigeoka 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 Nobeoka 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.[3][4][5]

A new station building, accompanied by a mixed-use commercial development, opened in August 2017.[6]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 1,195 passengers (boarding only) per day.[7]

JR Freight operations

The JR Freight depot is located on the east side of JR Kyushu's passenger station, and has one container platform and one cargo handling line connected to the station's arrival/departure line via a pull line that extends towards Minaminobeoka Station. There used to be dedicated lines (rayon lines and gunpowder lines) to the Asahi Kasei factory on the north side of the station, and containers were handled on these lines as well. The shunting work and container loading and unloading work is carried out by JR Freight Kyushu Logistics, a JR Freight group company. The depot handles JR standard 12-foot containers and 20-foot ocean containers.
