Hayato Station serves as a junction in the city of Kirishima, Kagoshima Prefecture, where the Hisatsu Line of 124.2 kilometres from Yatsushiro reaches its southern terminus at the Nippō Main Line, 434.7 kilometres from Kokura. It was opened on 10 June 1901 by Japanese Government Railways under the name Kokubu Station as part of an early Kagoshima-area extension, and successive renamings followed as the network grew. The current station building is a modern concrete structure with bamboo trim that houses a staffed ticket window and automatic ticket machines, and the platforms are connected by a footbridge. With JNR's privatisation on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Kyushu, which still operates it.
