• Nichinan Line: Odotsu ⇄ Taninokuchi

Nangō Station opened on 1 March 1936 as an intermediate stop on the then Shibushi Line, on the same day the line was extended north to Ōdōtsu, which became the new terminus. Located in present-day Nichinan in Miyazaki Prefecture, the station lies 53.0 km from the line origin at Minami-Miyazaki. The route was redesignated the Nichinan Line on 8 May 1963; freight handling ended in 1971 and baggage handling in 1985. With JNR's privatisation on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Kyushu. The single side platform is served by a simple concrete-block station building; JR Kyushu does not staff the station directly, but a kan'i-itaku agent sells some tickets on site.

Although JR Kyushu does not station its own employees here, some tickets are still sold from the on-site ticket window by a kan'i-itaku contracted agent.
