History
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 Aburatsu by 1937. The track was extended further north with Kitagō opening as the northern terminus on 28 October 1941. Nichinan, at that time named Agata (吾田), was one of several intermediate stations opened on the same day on the new track. The station was renamed Nichinan on 1 January 1952. 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.[6][7][8]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 256 passengers (boarding only) per day.[9]
