History

[edit]

Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the Miyazaki Line from Yoshimatsu to Miyakonojō on 8 October 1913. The track was extended eastward in phases, with Aoidake opening as the new terminus on 21 March 1916. On 25 October 1916, the track linked up with a track from Miyazaki at Kiyotake and the line was renamed the Miyazaki Main Line on 21 September 1917. By 1923, the track from Miyazaki has extended north to link up with the track of the Nippō Main Line at Shigeoka. On 15 December 1923, the entire stretch of track from Shigeoka through Miyazaki to Yoshimatsu, including Aoidake, was designated as part of the Nippō Main Line. Freight services were discontinued in 1962 and baggage handling in 1979. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, the Aoidake came under the control of JR Kyushu.[4][5]
