The station consists of two side platforms serving two tracks at grade. The station building is a wooden structure of traditional Japanese design and houses a staffed ticket window, a waiting area, a shop and a restaurant.[3][2]

History

On 21 June 1914, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the Шаблон:Nihongo (later the Miyagi Line) from Шаблон:STN eastwards to Шаблон:STN. The line was extended eastward in phases and Miyaji was established as the eastern terminal on 25 January 1918. On the same day, Aso was opened as an intermediate station on the new track with the name Шаблон:Nihongo. On 2 December 1928, Miyaji was linked up with Шаблон:STN, the western terminus of the Шаблон:Nihongo, which had been extended westwards in phases from Шаблон:STN since 1914. Through-traffic was established between Kumamoto and Ōita. The two lines were merged and the entire stretch redesignated as the Hōhi Main Line. Bōchū was renamed Aso Station on 20 March 1961. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[6][7]

Because of track damage from the 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes, service between Шаблон:STN to Шаблон:STN was suspended from April 2016. Service between Aso and Bungo-Ogi was restored by 9 July 2016.[8] The sector between Higo-Ōzu and Aso remained closed. JR Kyushu commenced the repair work, starting first with the track from Higo-Ōzu to Tateno.[9] On 8 August 2020, JR Kyushu reopened the Higo-Ōzu to Aso section of the line, permitting access between Aso and Kumamoto.[10]

On 17 September 2017, Typhoon Talim (Typhoon 18) damaged the Hōhi Main Line at several locations. Services between Aso and Nakahanda were suspended and replaced by bus services. Rail service from Aso to Miemachi was restored by 22 September 2017[11] Normal rail services between Aso and Ōita were restored by 2 October 2017.[12]
