History
Japanese Government Railways (JGR) had opened the Miyazaki Line from Yoshimatsu to Miyakonojō on 8 October 1913. In the next phase of expansion, the track was extended east, with Mimata opening as the new terminus on 11 February 1914. On 15 August the same year, it became a through-station when the track was extended to Yamanokuchi. By 21 September 1917, the track had reached Miyazaki and line was renamed the Miyazaki Main Line. By 1923, the track had reached north to link up with the track of the Nippō Main Line at Shigeoka. On 15 December 1923, Mimata was designated as part of the Nippō Main Line together with the entire stretch through Miyazaki, Miyakonojō to Yoshimatsu. 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.[5][6]
