Lines
The station is served by the Nippō Main Line and is located 337.4 km from the starting point of the line at Kokura.[3]
Layout
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of an island platform serving two tracks at grade with two sidings beyond platform/track 2. There is no station building but an enclosed waiting room housing an automatic ticket vending machine has been set up under the canopy of the island platform. A red torii stands at the station entrance, recalling the nearby Miyazaki-jingū shrine. Access to the island platform from the station entrance is by means of a level crossing with a ramp.[2][3]

History
On 15 December 1913, the Miyazaki Prefectural Railway (宮崎県営鉄道) opened a line from Miyazaki northwards to Hirose (now closed). This station, then named Hanagajima (花ヶ島) was opened on the same day as an intermediate station on the track. The Miyazaki Prefectural Railway was nationalized on 21 September 1917 and 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. 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]
