Until 2004, the Kagoshima line run between Mojikō and Nishi-Kagoshima. After the opening of Kyūshū Shinkansen, the northern part of the line terminates at Yatsushiro.
Oddities:
In Orio, Kagoshima and Chikuhō lines cross at different levels. The through trains between the lines use a route bypassing the "normal" platforms on both Kagoshima and Chikuhō lines, using a separate platform 150 m from the normal platforms.
