• JR Yamaguchi Line: Shinome ⇄ Miyano

Niho Station opened on 1 July 1917 on the line that became the JR Yamaguchi Line. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR West. Located in Yamaguchi, Yamaguchi Prefecture, it lies 20.2 km from the line's terminus at Shin-Yamaguchi. The station consists of a single ground-level unnumbered island platform connected to the entrance by a footbridge, with no station building though a passenger shelter is provided on the platform. The station is unattended, and fiscal 2020 ridership averaged 36 passengers per day. Surrounding facilities include the Niho Regional Exchange Center as well as Niho Junior High and Elementary Schools.

Niho's island platform carries no platform number — there is just one bi-directional track on each face, with no station building behind the simple shelter.
