History
Minami-Miyazaki Station opened on 31 October 1913 as Akae Station, built by the privately operated Miyazaki Light Railway (a predecessor of Miyazaki Kōtsū). It was renamed Ōyodo Station on 20 March 1915 when the section from Miyazaki to Aoidake was opened by the Railway Bureau and leased to the Miyazaki Prefectural Railway. National operation took over on 16 October 1916 when the prefectural railway was nationalised. The station was renamed Minami-Miyazaki on 1 April 1942 and the original building burned in the 12 August 1945 Miyazaki air raid. The Nichinan Line was completed through this station on 8 May 1963, and freight handling was discontinued on 1 June that year. JR Kyushu inherited the station at the 1 April 1987 privatisation.
Notes
The relay interlocking installed in the station yard in 1973 remained in operational use here until it was replaced by an electronic interlocking on 1 October 2017.
