History

The station was opened by Japanese Government Railways (JGR) on 1 February 1929 as an additional station on the existing track of what it then designated as part of the Nippō Main Line. On 6 December 1932, the stretch of track between Yoshimatsu and Miyakonojō, which included Nishi Kobayashi, was separated out and redesignated as the Kitto Line with Miyakonojō as the starting point. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, Nishi Kobayashi came under the control of JR Kyushu.[6][7][3]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 29 passengers (boarding only) per day.[8]
