History
Aizu-Miyashita Station opened on 28 October 1941 as the terminus of an eastward extension of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) Tadami Line from Aizu-Yanaizu, in what is now the town of Mishima, Ōnuma District, Fukushima Prefecture. The line was extended further to Aizu-Kawaguchi in September 1956, making the station an intermediate stop. Freight handling ended in 1971 and parcel handling in 1984. The station was absorbed into the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) network with the 1987 privatization of JNR. After the July 2011 floods suspended through services, replacement buses ran on the affected sections; the station itself was de-staffed at the end of 2023.
