History

Japanese Government Railways (JGR) had opened the Miyazaki Line from Yoshimatsu to Miyakonojō on 8 October 1913. The track was extended east in phases, with Aoidake opening as the new terminus on 21 March 1916. On 25 October 1916, Aoidake linked up with a track from Miyazaki at Kiyotake. On the same day, Tano was opened as an intermediate station on this new stretch. The line was renamed the Miyazaki Main Line on 21 September 1917. By 1923, the track from Miyazaki had reached 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 Tano, was designated as part of the Nippō Main Line. Freight operations were discontinued in 1971 and baggahe handling in 1985, after which the station was unattended. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[4][5]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 600 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 225th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[6]
