History
On 15 December 1913, the Miyazaki Prefectural Railway (宮崎県営鉄道) opened a line from
Japanese Government Railways (JGR) assumed control of the station, designating it as part of the Tsuma Light Rail Line (妻軽便線). By 1920, JGR had extended the track from Hirose northwards to Takanabe. Thus on 11 September 1920, JGR designated the stretch of track from Takanabe, through Hanagajima to Miyazaki as part of the Miyazaki Main Line, which at that time already comprised the track from Miyazaki southwards to Miyakonojō. Expanding north of Takanabe in phases, the track eventually reached Kokura and the entire stretch from Kokura to Miyakonojō was redesignated as the Nippō Main Line on 15 December 1923. Hanagajima was renamed Miyazaki-Jingu on 10 November 1954. Freight operations were discontinued in 1984 and baggage handling in 1985, after which the station became unattended. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.[4][5][6]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 542 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 235th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[7]
