Minamiaso-Shirakawasuigen Station opened on 17 March 2012 on the Minamiaso Railway Takamori Line, 14.3 km from the line's starting point at Tateno. The station was a citizen-requested addition fully funded by the village of Minamiaso at a cost of 35 million yen; it sits about 300 m south of Shirakawa Springs and improves access to the springs compared with the previously nearest stop at Aso-Shirakawa. The station building, which doubles as a community centre and houses a coffee shop, was completed on 22 July 2012. Following the April 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes the whole line closed; service through this station resumed on 31 July 2016.

Built as a citizen request with the village covering all 35 million yen of construction costs, the station building doubles as a community centre and hosts a coffee shop named Kurikara.
