Hyūgashi Station (日向市駅? Hyūgashi-eki) is a railway station on the Nippō Main Line in Hyūga, Miyazaki, Japan, operated by Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu).
Hyūgashi Station is located at the heart of Hyuga, Miyazaki. The current station is a timber-steel hybrid structure built in 2008 by Naito Architecture & Associates. It was built as a functional train station and also with the intention of being a symbol of the city.
The station opened on 11 October 1921 as Tomitaka Station (富高駅?). It was renamed Hyūgashi Station on 25 May 1963. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.
The area in and around the station is regularly used for events and festivals.
