• JR Nippo Line: Kitagawa ⇄ Kita-Nobeoka

Hyūga-Nagai opened on 29 October 1922 as the new northern terminus of the Miyazaki Main Line, which Japanese Government Railways had extended after taking over the former Miyazaki Prefectural Railway. It became a through-station on 1 July 1923 when the rails reached Ichitana, and on 15 December 1923 the link-up with the Hoshū Line south from Kokura created continuous service from Kokura through Hyūga-Nagai to Miyakonojō, the whole stretch then renamed the Nippō Main Line. Freight handling ended in 1962 and baggage handling in 1972, when the station also became unstaffed. The 1 April 1987 privatisation transferred operations to JR Kyushu, and oversight moved to the new Miyazaki Branch on 1 April 2022.

Until the end of March 1992, when simple-consignment ticket sales at the station were discontinued, a resident living in front of the station held the consignment and hand-sold tickets on the platform for a single morning down local train — the only ticket sold being an ordinary ticket as far as Nobeoka.
