History
Fukushima-Takamatsu Station opened on 15 September 1949 as a temporary flag-stop on the then Shibushi Line and was upgraded to a full station on 10 January 1950. Located in Kushima in Miyazaki Prefecture, it sits 79.6 km from the line origin at Minami-Miyazaki and is the last Nichinan Line station within Miyazaki Prefecture. Baggage handling ended on 1 April 1962, when the station was destaffed. The route was redesignated the Nichinan Line on 8 May 1963, and the station passed to JR Kyushu on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of JNR. A single side platform serves one track, with a small waiting room downsized from the former wooden station building.
