History


The private Daito Railway (大湯鉄道) had opened a track between Ōita and Onoya in 1915. The Daito Railway was nationalized on 1 December 1922, after which Japanese Government Railways (JGR) undertook phased westward expansion of the track which, at the time, it had designated as the Daito Line. By 1928, the track had reached Bungo-Nakamura. Subsequently, the track was extended further west and Bungo-Mori was opened as the new western terminus on 15 December 1929. On 16 September 1932, Bungo-Mori became a through-station when the track was again extended to Kita-Yamada. On 15 November 1934, when the Daito Line had linked up with the Kyudai Main Line further west, JGR designated the station as part of the Kyudai Main Line. 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.
In 2013, the station building was renovated in preparation for the arrival of the luxury train Seven Stars in Kyushu. The station building, station furniture, roof and footbridge were all remodeled in a deep brown colour to reflect an "earth and forest" theme in deference to the location of the station. In 2014, the renovation works won an award from the Japan Association of Railway Architects.




Passenger statistics


In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 338 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 292nd among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.
