• JR Nippo Line: Hyuga-Kutsukake ⇄ Aoidake

Tano Station opened on 25 October 1916 as an intermediate stop on the new stretch of track that the Japanese Government Railways laid between Kiyotake and Aoidake, Aoidake having become the eastern terminus of the Miyazaki Line on 21 March 1916. The line was renamed the Miyazaki Main Line on 21 September 1917, and on 15 December 1923 the through route from Shigeoka via Miyazaki to Yoshimatsu — including Tano — was redesignated as part of the Nippō Main Line. Freight operations ended on 1 March 1971 and baggage handling on 14 March 1985, after which the station became unattended. It passed to JR Kyushu at privatisation on 1 April 1987.

Although limited-express services pass Tano — all but one morning Kirishima working to Miyazaki, which calls here — the station's boarding figures still outpace those of nearby Nishi-Miyakonojō, where every train stops.
