• JR Amakusa Misumi Line: Sumiyoshi (Kumamoto) ⇄ Uto (Kumamoto)

Midorikawa Station opened on 1 April 1960 as a Japanese National Railways stop serving diesel-railcar passengers only, in what is now the city of Uto, Kumamoto Prefecture. The station is 4.0 km from the Misumi Line's Uto starting point and consists of a single side platform at grade with no station building. It has always been unstaffed. At privatisation on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Kyushu, whose 'Amakusa-Misumi Line' branding now appears alongside the formal Misumi Line name. The surrounding area is a mixture of paddy fields and small settlements, with land to the north of the station built up on reclaimed ground.

The station's name sign carries an illustration of nearby Awashima Shrine's miniature torii, the gate-crawling ritual for which the shrine is well known throughout the region.
