• JR Kyudai Line: Minami-Yufu ⇄ Noya

Yufuin Station opened on 29 July 1925 as Kita-Yufuin, the new western terminus of the Daito Line that Japanese Government Railways was extending westward after nationalising the private Daito Railway in 1922. It became a through-station on 26 November 1926 when track reached Noya, and was folded into the Kyudai Main Line on 15 November 1934 once the Daito Line linked up further west. The station was renamed Yufuin on 1 January 1950 and passed to JR Kyushu at privatisation on 1 April 1987. The present chapel-inspired wooden station building, designed by Arata Isozaki, was completed on 15 December 1990 with a 12-metre open concourse and an adjoining event-hall waiting room.

The Hita-end of platform 1 hosts a paid foot bath fed by Yufuin onsen water; it is in a sister-station partnership ("foot-bath three sisters") with Arashiyama Station on Keifuku and Mino-o Station on Hankyu.
