Japanese Government Railways (JGR) had opened the Shibushi Line from Nishi-Miyakonojō to Sueyoshi (now closed) in 1923. By 1925, the line had been extended eastwards to the east coast of Kyushu at Shibushi. The line was then extended northwards in phases, reaching Yowara by 1935. The track was extended further north with Ōdōtsu opening as the northern terminus on 1 March 1936. On the same day, Nangō opened as an intermediate station the new track. The route was designated the Nichinan Line on 8 May 1963. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[5][6][7]
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 167 passengers (boarding only) per day.[8]
