History
The private Miyazaki Light Railway (宮崎軽便鉄道) (later renamed the Miyazaki Railway) opened a line on 31 October 1913 between Minami-Miyazaki and Uchiumi (a station of the same name but at a different location from this present one). The line and its stations closed when the Miyazaki Railway ceased operations on 1 July 1962. Subsequently, Japanese National Railways (JNR) extended its then Shibushi Line north from Kitagō towards Minami-Miyazaki using largely the same route. The linkup, which included the reopening of some previously closed Miyazaki Railway stations, was completed on 8 May 1963, whereupon the route was renamed the Nichinan Line. Uchiumi was also opened on the same day. It used the name of a previously closed station nearby, but was a new station at a different location. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[3][5]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 19 passengers (boarding only) per day.[6]
