• Hisatsu Orange Railway: Takaono ⇄ Origuchi

Nodagou Station opened on 25 March 1923 as a station on the Sendai Line of Japanese Government Railways, which was incorporated into the Kagoshima Main Line on 17 October 1927. The present reinforced-concrete station building was completed in February 1959 to a standard JNR design. CTC made it a sub-station of Izumi from 1970, and contract operation ended in March 1986. JR Kyushu inherited it in 1987 and reinstated staffed contract service following a petition from the former town of Noda. On 13 March 2004, with the opening of the Kyushu Shinkansen, the station was transferred to the third-sector Hisatsu Orange Railway. It is now managed by the local NPO Hokusatsu Club.

The "郷" ("gō") in the station name once denoted an administrative district of the Satsuma domain; the suffix was retained at opening to avoid duplication with the existing Noda Station on the Osaka Loop Line.
