History

Miyazaki-Jingū Station opened on 15 December 1913 as Hanagajima Station, an intermediate stop on the Miyazaki Prefectural Railway's line running north from Miyazaki to Hirose (now closed). The line was nationalised in 1917 and absorbed into the Tsuma Light Rail Line, then redesignated the Miyazaki Main Line on 11 September 1920 and the Nippō Main Line on 15 December 1923. Hanagajima was renamed Miyazaki-Jingu on 10 November 1954 after the nearby shrine. The 1925 wooden station building — its red copper roof and vermillion-painted pillars echoing the shrine — was demolished in 2007, and a red torii-style station name post now marks the entrance. Freight ended in 1984, baggage handling in 1985, and JR Kyushu inherited the station at the 1 April 1987 privatisation.

Notes

The 1925 wooden station building was modelled on Miyazaki-jingū itself, with a red copper roof and vermillion-painted pillars; it was demolished in 2007 and replaced by a torii-shaped station name post.
