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 several previously closed stations, was completed on 8 May 1963, and inc whereupon the route was renamed the Nichinan Line. Kouchiumi was one of several new intermediate stations which were opened on the same day. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[4][5]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 6 passengers (boarding only) per day.[6]
