• JR Nippō Line: Higashi-Tsuno ⇄ Kawaminami

Tsuno Station opened on 11 June 1921 as an intermediate stop on the then-Miyazaki Main Line when Japanese Government Railways extended the route from Takanabe to Mimitsu. The wider Kokura–Miyakonojō line was redesignated the Nippō Main Line on 15 December 1923. Freight operations ceased in 1981 and baggage handling in 1984, after which the station became unstaffed. It passed to JR Kyushu at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. A wooden station building in traditional Japanese style was completed on 16 June 2017, housing a staffed ticket window, the local tourism association office and a railfan-maintained diorama. To preserve service, Tsuno town has run the ticket window as a kan'i itaku contracted operation since 1 April 2015.

When JR Kyushu announced it would unstaff the station, Tsuno town stepped in on 1 April 2015 and has run the ticket window itself as a kan'i itaku agent ever since.
