• Kitto Line: Tanigashira ⇄ Miyakonojo

Hyūga Shōnai Station opened on 15 April 1952 when Japanese National Railways added it to an already-operating stretch of the Kitto Line, 4.1 kilometres from the Miyakonojō end of the line. The station serves the Otobō district of Miyakonojō in Miyazaki Prefecture, close to the Ōyodo River and the local national college of technology. The original station building was rebuilt in November 1977 alongside the installation of a train-approach warning device, and baggage handling had been discontinued earlier on 10 May 1963. With the breakup of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Kyushu. In 2022, when JR Kyushu's Miyazaki branch was created, a branch boundary was drawn on the line between Hyūga Shōnai and the neighbouring Miyakonojō Station.
