• JR Nippo Line: Yokoku ⇄ Kamegawa

The station that is today Bungo-Toyooka opened on 16 July 1911 as Kashiranari Station, a new intermediate stop on the Hōshū Main Line in Hiji, Ōita Prefecture, on the same day the line was extended south to Beppu. It was relocated to its current site and renamed Bungo-Toyooka on 1 August 1940. Freight handling ended in 1961, the post was unstaffed in 1970, and JR Kyushu took over at the 1 April 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways. The station was fully unstaffed again in July 2014, but on 1 April 2016 the Hiji town authorities resumed a weekday-morning staffed ticket window under a kan'i itaku commission arrangement.

A photograph of the platform and the adjacent Beppu Bay was used on the 2020 promotional poster for JR's nationwide "Seishun 18" discount rail pass.
