• JR Nippō Line: Kamegawa ⇄ Beppu

Beppu Daigaku Station opened on 9 March 1987, just weeks before the privatisation of Japanese National Railways, as an infill stop on the existing Nippō Main Line in Beppu, Ōita Prefecture. With JNR's dissolution on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Kyushu, which still operates it 117.0 km from the Kokura starting point of the line. The station has no standalone building; instead the ticket counter sits on the ground floor of the Beppu City International Exchange Centre. The two side platforms, linked by a footbridge, are served by trains run for JR Kyushu by its subsidiary JR Kyushu Tetsudou Eigyou, which staffs the POS-equipped ticket window.

Despite being one of the youngest stations on the Nippō Main Line, Beppu Daigaku was the 101st-busiest station in the JR Kyushu network in fiscal 2016, owing largely to commuting students from the adjacent Beppu University campus.
