• Nichinan Line: Oryuzako ⇄ Kouchiumi

Uchiumi Station opened on 8 May 1963 (Shōwa 38) as an unstaffed passenger-only stop on the JNR Nichinan Line. Baggage handling began the following month on 10 June 1963 and the station was staffed at the same time. Carload freight began on 30 March 1964 (Shōwa 39) and ended on 15 November 1967 (Shōwa 42). The platform was extended by 20 m in March 1978 (Shōwa 53) to a 90-m effective length. Baggage handling ended and the station was unstaffed on 1 February 1984 (Shōwa 59). With JNR breakup on 1 April 1987 (Shōwa 62) the station passed to JR Kyūshū. On 1 April 2022 (Reiwa 4) it was transferred from the Kagoshima Branch to the newly formed Miyazaki Branch. In February 2026 (Reiwa 8) a unit-style waiting room — assembled from pre-cut timber and factory-made membrane panels — was installed here as the first example of that prefabricated design.

Although the limited-express "Umisachi Yamasachi" does not stop for passengers here, it makes a service stop because the station sits at a viewing point for the "Oni no Sentakuita" (Devil's Washboard). The current station is on a different site from an earlier station of the same name that operated from 1913 to 1962 under the Miyazaki Light Railway, later renamed the Miyazaki Railway. The station was once a passing place with an island platform serving two tracks, but the down-side track has been removed and only a single platform remains, with the compact waiting room of 2026 installed in the wide, open precinct.
