History
Miyaguchi Station opened on 1 June 1940 when the Japan National Railways Futamata Line was extended westward from Enshū-Mori Station to Kanasashi, in what is now Hamana-ku, Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture. Scheduled freight services were withdrawn from June 1962. The station came under the Tenryū Hamanako Railroad on 15 March 1987 when the Futamata Line was transferred to third-sector operation. It has two opposed side platforms linked to the modest station building by a level crossing, and remains unattended. The original station building and the up-line platform shelter were listed in 2011 as Registered Tangible Cultural Properties of Japan.

Notes
Before the Futamata Line opened, a separate narrow-gauge line — the Seien Tramway — ran from a different Miyaguchi station just south of today's site to what is now Entetsu's Hamakita Station, between 1924 and 1937.
