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. In the first phase of expansion, the track from Jirogabyū (now Hyūga-Sumiyoshi forked off from the track to Hirose and extended north, with Takanabe which opened on 11 September 1920 as the new northern terminus. Takanabe became a through station on 11 June 1921 when the track was further extended to Mimitsu. Expanding north in phases and joining up with other networks, the track eventually reached Kokura and the entire stretch from Kokura through Takanabe 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.[6][7][8]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 799 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 192nd among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[9]
