• Hōhi Line: Miyaji ⇄ Takimizu

Namino opened on 2 December 1928, the day the eastward-pushing Miyaji Line from Kumamoto met the westward-pushing Inukai Line at Tamarai and a through Kumamoto–Ōita route — the Hōhi Main Line — came into being. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1962, and the station became unstaffed on 30 November 1983. JR Kyushu inherited the station with the 1 April 1987 privatisation. On 16 August 2000 the original wooden station building burnt down; it was never rebuilt, and only a small shelter has been provided on the down platform since 2001. In September 2017 Typhoon Talim cut the line through Namino; rail service resumed within weeks.

At 754 m above sea level, Namino is the highest railway station in Kyushu — a fact announced on a permanent marker on the platform.
