History
Mikuriya Station opened on 6 August 1935 as Hizen-Mikuriya Station, a stop established by the Ministry of Railways on the line that ran along the northern Nagasaki coast. Freight handling ended in 1970, when the post was contracted out, and luggage handling was abolished in 1984. The 1 April 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways briefly placed the station under JR Kyushu, but on 1 April 1988 it was transferred together with the rest of the line to the third-sector Matsuura Railway and renamed Mikuriya. The station has an island platform with two tracks and is the northernmost railway station in Nagasaki Prefecture.
