History
Miyano-oku Station opened on 16 September 1907 with the Ino Line extension west from Kagamigawabashi to Kōnai. The stop name is sometimes also written as 宮ノ奥, and the two written forms still co-exist on local signs. The stop passed to Tosaden Kōtsū on 1 October 2014 with the operator merger. The two platforms face each other across the single track — Harimaya-bashi-bound on the north, Ino-bound on the south. The southbound "platform" is simply a painted white line on the shoulder of the parallel prefectural road.

Notes
Just north of the stop, across the JR Dosan Line tracks, lies the Asakura Kofun (朝倉古墳) — a 5th- to 6th-century burial mound that the stop is otherwise unsigned for. The Kuni-no-okumiya ("shrine's back-yard") name itself nods at older shrine geography of the area.
