History
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 as part of the then Miyazaki Main Line, reaching Takanabe by 11 September 1920. In the next phase of expansion, the track was extended to Mimitsu, which opened as the new northern terminus on 11 June 1921. It became a through station on 11 October 1921 when the track was further extended to Tomitaka (now Hyūgashi). Expanding north in phases and joining up with other networks, the track eventually reached Kokura and the entire stretch from Kokura through Mimitsu to Miyakonojō was redesignated as the Nippō Main Line on 15 December 1923. 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.[4][5][6]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 123 passengers (boarding only) per day.[7]
