The station is served by the Chikuhō Main Line and is located 51.2 km from the starting point of the line at Wakamatsu.[3]
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of a side platform serving a single track. Across the track can be seen another, disused side platform as well as the track bed of a second track which has since been removed. A siding branches off the track and ends behind the platform and is used by track maintenance equipment. A small station building built in a loghouse style serves as a waiting room. A separate weather shelter is provided on the platform itself.[2][3]

Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the station on 15 July 1928 as the new southern terminus of the then Nagao Line from Nagao (now Keisen). On 7 December 1929, Chikuzen-Uchino became a through station when the track was further extended to Haruda. On the same day, the Nagao Line was merged and became part of the Chikuho Main Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Kyushu.[4][5]
