History
Miyanojin Station opened on 12 April 1924 as a stop on the Kyushu Railway, the predecessor of the present-day Nishi-Nippon Railroad. The operator merged with the Kyushu Electric Tramway on 19 September 1942 and adopted the Nishi-Nippon Railway name three days later, on 22 September 1942, bringing the station under the corporate identity it carries today. It sits 36.5 kilometres south of the line's Fukuoka (Tenjin) terminus on the Tenjin Ōmuta Line, and also serves as the western terminus of the 17.9-kilometre Nishitetsu Amagi Line, making it one of the route's principal branching points in Fukuoka Prefecture.

Notes
The platforms form an unusually sharp V where the Tenjin Ōmuta and Amagi Lines diverge, linked across the angle by a constant-duty level crossing inside the station.
