Miyauchi Station opened on 27 December 1898 as a station of the Hokuetsu Railway between Hōjō and Nagaoka, and was nationalised on 1 August 1907. The Jōetsu North Line (now the Jōetsu Line) opened to Higashi-Ojiya (now Ojiya) on 1 November 1920, making Miyauchi the junction of the Shin'etsu Main Line and the Jōetsu Line. The station building was rebuilt in 1947 and replaced again on 14 March 1992. It passed to JR East at privatisation on 1 April 1987. Suica became available on 1 April 2014, and the Midori-no-Madoguchi staffed ticket office closed on 30 November 2023.

The station building's wood-and-tile motifs and ceramic-roof gables are designed in homage to Settaya — a brewing district of sake, soy-sauce, and miso producers near the station — and the concourse floor carries an inlaid map of a walking route through it.
