History
Miyamoto-Musashi Station opened on 3 December 1994 with the inauguration of the Chizu Line, the third-sector route operated by Chizu Express in southeastern Tottori and northern Okayama. The location, in Imaoka in the city of Mimasaka, Okayama Prefecture, was not originally planned to have a station; it was added after construction resumed in 1987 in response to strong requests from local residents. The station takes its name from the swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, whom one tradition holds was born nearby. It consists of an elevated single platform on a single-track embankment and is unstaffed, with no ticket facilities.

Notes
Although the station's name commemorates Miyamoto Musashi's purported birthplace, the station itself stands not in the Miyamoto district but in the neighbouring Imaoka district of Mimasaka.
