• JR Nippo Line: Tsuno ⇄ Takanabe

Kawaminami Station opened on 11 June 1921 as an intermediate stop when Japanese Government Railways extended the former Miyazaki Prefectural Railway northwards from Takanabe to a new terminus at Mimitsu. After further phases of construction linked the route up to Kokura, the entire Kokura-Miyakonojō stretch was redesignated as the Nippō Main Line on 15 December 1923. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Kyushu, which has operated it since. Located 305.6 km from Kokura, the station has a single island platform with two tracks and a siding, served by a modern western-style timber station building designed to resemble a mountain cabin.
