History

[edit]

On 1 October 1912, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened a track between Yoshimatsu and Kobayashi (then named Kobayashimachi) during the first phase of construction of what it then designated as the Miyazaki Line. Ebino Iino (at that time named Iino Station (飯野駅)) was opened on the same day as one of several intermediate stations along the track. On 15 December 1923, the stretch of track between Yoshimatsu and Miyakonojō which included Iino, was designated as part of the Nippō Main Line. On 6 December 1932, the same stretch was separated out and was designated as the Kitto Line with Miyakonojō as the starting point. The current station building was completed on 26 August 1960. Freight operations were discontinued in 1980 and baggage handling in 1984. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, Iino came under the control of JR Kyushu. On 1 November 1990, Iino was renamed Ebino Iino.[3][5][6]

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 173 passengers (boarding only) per day.[7]
