• Yamagata Railway Flower Nagai Line: Orihata ⇄ Nanyo-Shiyakusho

Miyauchi Station opened on 26 October 1913 as Miyauchi-chō Station with the inauguration of the Nagai Light Railway between Akayu and Ringō. Freight handling was withdrawn in November 1979 and parcel services in February 1984. The station passed to JR East at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, and on 25 October 1988 it was transferred to the third-sector Yamagata Railway and renamed to its present form. The station was unstaffed from April 1998, but was re-staffed from 1 August 2010, when a rabbit was also appointed as honorary stationmaster.

In August 2010 Miyauchi appointed three rabbits — Mocchii, Peter and Ten — to staff the station alongside a Chinese pond turtle named Kamekichi who served part-time as deputy stationmaster; the white rabbit Mocchii held the post of stationmaster until her death in June 2023.
