History
Hyūga-Kutsukake Station began life as the Hyūga-Kutsukake signal box, which Japanese National Railways opened on 15 September 1965 on the Nippō Main Line in Kiyotake-chō, now part of Miyazaki City. Just two weeks later, on 1 October 1965, the facility was upgraded to a full passenger station. CTC was extended through the Minami-Miyazaki–Kagoshima section on 1 October 1979 and the station became unstaffed at the same time. It passed to JR Kyushu on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of JNR. SUGOCA IC card service was introduced on 14 November 2015, and the station moved from the Kagoshima Branch to the new Miyazaki Branch on 1 April 2022.
