History

Miraidaira Station opened on 2005-08-24 as a station on the Metropolitan Intercity Railway Tsukuba Express in Tsukubamirai, Ibaraki Prefecture. During planning the working name was Ina-Yawara Station, and the station was originally to be sited about 2 km closer to Moriya than the present location. A train first entered the station for an inspection run on 2004-03-12. On 2006-03-27, after the merger of Yawara village in Tsukuba-gun and the town of Ina to form Tsukubamirai, the address notation was updated. A further address change followed on 2013-06-29 once the surrounding land-readjustment project was completed. The station is built in a cutting, and it is the only Tsukuba Express station with a station building physically separate from the platforms.

Notes

Miraidaira is the only Tsukuba Express station with a station building set apart from the platforms; the arched beams supporting its roof are made of timber.
