Nichinan Station (日南駅, Nichinan-eki) is a passenger
Lines
The station is served by the Nichinan Line and is located 43.8 km from the starting point of the line at Minami-Miyazaki.[3]

The station consists of a side platform serving a single track at grade. A disused platform stands to the east of the track. The station building is a modern steel frame structure which houses a staffed ticket window and a waiting area. A bike shed and parking are available at the station forecourt.[2][3]
