Notes
Asahigaoka is an unstaffed single-platform halt on the mountain-side of the track; the platform faces the new Asahigaoka and Ichigaoka housing estates to the west, while National Route 10 and a coastal windbreak forest hide the sea immediately to the east near the entrance to Nobeoka New Port. The simple log-cabin-styled shelter houses a waiting area and a single short-distance ticket-vending machine.
