• JR Nippō Line: Miyakonojō ⇄ Isoichi

Nishi-Miyakonojō Station sits 392.4 kilometres south of Kokura on the Nippō Main Line and serves central Miyakonojō more closely than the city's namesake junction station to the east. The platforms are elevated above the concourse, and an empty viaduct that branches south from the station is the unused remnant of the Shibushi Line, which closed in 1987. The station building's facade was renovated in October 2017 in white and black with the Miyakonojō Shimazu family crest in gold lettering, and from April 2023 ticketing has been outsourced to Miyazaki Kotsu after a JR Kyushu Service Support agreement ended in March that year. No barrier-free path is available between the concourse and the platforms.

An elevated bridge branches south from the station without rails; it is the surviving stub of the Shibushi Line, which operated until 1987.
