Location
History
Miyamae Station was established on 15 February 1945 as the Miyamae Signal Box between Higashi-Wakayama (now Wakayama) and Kimiidera on the Kisei West Line. The signal box was closed on 26 December 1951 and reopened as a full station on 1 April 1955, initially as an unstaffed stop handling only diesel railcar passengers. Line allocation moved to the Kisei Main Line on 15 July 1959, and the station passed to JR West at the 1 April 1987 JNR breakup. ICOCA service began on 30 August 2015. The station has two opposed side platforms with no footbridge between them, so passengers move from one to the other by the ordinary public level crossing near the entrances, and it is classified as a halt because it lacks switches and absolute signals.
Notes
Although Miyamae has no station building and is officially unstaffed, ridership is unusually high for such a halt thanks to nearby elementary, junior-high, and major industrial sites.
