• JR Nippo Line: Totoro ⇄ Hyugashi

Kadogawa opened on 11 February 1922 as an intermediate station on the new Miyazaki Main Line extension that had reached Minami-Nobeoka the same day, having been built northwards by Japanese Government Railways after the 1917 nationalisation of the Miyazaki Prefectural Railway. The whole stretch from Kokura through Kadogawa to Miyakonojō was redesignated the Nippō Main Line on 15 December 1923. The first station building was destroyed in the Kadogawa air raid of 12 August 1945. Freight handling ended on 26 September 1973, baggage on 1 February 1984, and the station was made unstaffed on 1 November 1984. After the 1 April 1987 privatisation it passed to JR Kyushu, and the present building, a joint facility with Kadogawa Community Centre APIO, was completed on 12 May 1994.

The current station building, completed on 12 May 1994, was built jointly with Kadogawa Town Community Centre APIO and was given a design evoking a boat.
