History

Ōsumi-Natsui Station opened on 15 April 1935 as a station of the Japanese Government Railways' then Shibushi Line in present-day Shibushi, Kagoshima Prefecture; it is the easternmost station in the prefecture. Freight handling ended on 25 December 1959 and baggage handling on 1 April 1962, when the station was destaffed. On 8 May 1963, the route was redesignated the Nichinan Line. The station was rebuilt in 1979 and passed to JR Kyushu on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of JNR. A single side platform serves one track, with a small concrete waiting-room building from the immediate post-war period still in use.
