• JR Nippo Line: Zaikoji ⇄ Mimitsu

Minami-Hyūga Station opened on 11 October 1921 as Iwawaki Station, an intermediate stop on the then-Miyazaki Main Line when Japanese Government Railways extended the route northwards from Mimitsu to Tomitaka (now Hyūgashi). Freight services were discontinued in 1962, the station was renamed Minami-Hyūga on 25 May 1963, baggage handling ended in 1974, and the station became unstaffed thereafter. It passed to JR Kyushu at privatisation on 1 April 1987. Today the station building is shared with a community centre and the Iwawaki branch of Hyūga City Hall.

The station building is not a dedicated railway facility but part of a large multi-storey civic building that also houses a community centre and the Iwawaki branch of Hyūga City Hall.
