• JR Kyudai Line: Yufuin ⇄ Yunohira

Minami-Yufu Station opened on 29 July 1925 as an intermediate stop on the Daito Line, on the same day Yufuin (then Kita-Yufuin) became the line's new western terminus. The Daito Line had been built on the nationalised tracks of the private Daito Railway, taken over by Japanese Government Railways on 1 December 1922. On 15 November 1934 the Daito Line was folded into the Kyudai Main Line after linking up with the existing line further west. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1962 and parcel handling on 10 February 1971, when the station was unstaffed. Control passed to JR Kyushu at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. A passing loop was installed on 15 July 1992, and the current single-storey Japanese-style wooden station building was rebuilt on 22 March 1993.

Boardings at Minami-Yufu have fallen from 98,579 in fiscal 1965 — about 270 a day — to 18,548 in fiscal 2015, a daily average of 51, a roughly five-fold decline.
