• Hōhi Line: Miemachi ⇄ Ogata (Oita)

Bungo-Kiyokawa Station opened on 23 November 1922 as Makiguchi Station, named after the village it stood in, when Japanese Government Railways extended the Inukai Line to Ogata. On 2 December 1928 the line became part of the consolidated Hōhi Main Line linking Kumamoto and Ōita. The station became unstaffed under a simplified-agency arrangement on 30 November 1983. Control passed to JR Kyushu at the 1987 JNR privatisation. A new station building shared with a local produce hall was completed on 3 June 1990, and the station was renamed Bungo-Kiyokawa on 1 November 1990 after the surrounding village had merged into Kiyokawa.

The station was originally Makiguchi, after its old village, but was renamed Bungo-Kiyokawa in 1990 once enough confused visitors had asked which stop served Kiyokawa village.
