• Kitto Line: Kyomachi-Onsen ⇄ Ebino Uwae

Ebino Station opened on 1 October 1912 as Kakutō Station, an intermediate stop on the Japanese Government Railways' newly built Miyazaki Line between Yoshimatsu and Kobayashi. The stretch was redesignated as part of the Nippō Main Line in 1923 and then split off as the Kitto Line in 1932. Freight operations ended in 1962 and baggage handling in 1984. JR Kyushu inherited the station at the 1 April 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways. Kakutō was renamed Ebino on 1 November 1990. On 25 April 2014, the original timber Taisho-era station building gained protected status as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property.

The wooden station building from 1912 still stands today; it was designated a Registered Tangible Cultural Property on 25 April 2014.
