History
Bungo-Miyoshi Station opened on 15 November 1934 as an intermediate stop between Hita and Amagase, on the day Japanese Government Railways completed the through Kurume–Ōita route and consolidated several earlier sections — including the former private Daito Railway, nationalised in 1922 — under the new Kyudai Main Line designation. The station, 49.4 km from Kurume, serves Hita in Ōita Prefecture. Freight and parcel handling were abolished on 20 February 1971 and the station was unstaffed at the same time. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR Kyushu, which still operates the single side platform.

Notes
About 400 metres east of the station once stood the Danwara kofun, a vertical-shaft tumulus uncovered in 1933 during Kyudai Main Line construction work; it produced the Bungo-Hita Han-dynasty gold-and-silver inlaid jewel-and-dragon-pattern iron mirror.
