History
Miyazaki Station opened on 15 December 1913 as a station of the prefecturally operated Miyazaki Prefectural Railway, which leased the still-isolated facility from the national authority while the route through Aoidake was being completed. National operation reached the station on 25 October 1916 when the line through Kiyotake was finished, and the prefectural railway was nationalised on 21 September 1917. The route became the Nippō Main Line on 15 December 1923. The station building burned down in the air raid of 12 August 1945 and was rebuilt in stages between 1950 and 1951. Elevation works commenced in October 1988 and the present elevated station building opened on 1 October 1993. JR Kyushu has operated the station since the 1 April 1987 privatisation.
