History
Kintetsu Miyazu Station opened on 21 September 1993 in what is now Kyotanabe, Kyoto Prefecture, in response to a request from the former town of Tanabe for better local rail access. The site began service on 18 March 1993 as Miyamaki Signal Box, built to serve the adjacent Miyazu Train Yard, which had opened earlier that month to expand fleet capacity on the Kintetsu Kyoto Line. The signal box was upgraded to full passenger station status six months later, and PiTaPa IC card acceptance was added on 1 April 2007. The station, designated B19, lies 23.1 kilometres from Kyoto Station and consists of a single island platform with two tracks set between two through-tracks on an embankment.

Notes
Daily ridership is the lowest on the Kintetsu Kyoto Line - around a fifth of the next-quietest station, Kizugawadai.
