• JR Kyudai Line: Bungo-Miyoshi ⇄ Amagase

Bungo-Nakagawa Station opened on 15 November 1934 as an intermediate stop on the new Hita-to-Amagase link that finally joined the eastern Daito Line, nationalised in 1922, with the Kyudai Main Line from Kurume. The combined route from Kurume to Ōita was then redesignated the Kyūdai Main Line, and the station has stood 55.3 km from Kurume ever since. Freight handling ended in 1962 and the stop went fully unstaffed on 15 February 1984. JR Kyushu took over at the 1987 privatisation. The current 33 m² timber waiting room was rebuilt with the help of furusato-nōzei donations and inaugurated on 14 March 2015.

The disused second platform was planted with cherry trees, so in spring photographers gather to shoot trains running through pink blossom right beside the rails — a deliberate piece of post-rationalisation landscaping.
