History
Miura Station opened on 1 April 1963 as a Japanese National Railways stop on the Inbi Line in what is now Tsuyama, Okayama Prefecture, built as a petition station with the entire construction cost borne locally. It joined JR West at the 1987 privatisation. A single side platform sits on an embankment serving one bidirectional track; the station has no building but does have a waiting shelter and toilet, and there are no ticket machines or proof-of-boarding dispensers. Operations are managed from Tsuyama, and fiscal-2019 ridership averaged about 14 boardings per day.

Notes
The cherry trees lining Miura's platform turn the entire stop into a blossom tunnel at peak bloom, an unusual draw for an embankment station with no booking facilities.
