History

The station opened on 17 June 1921 as Miyoshichō San-chōme Station (三好町三丁目駅). It was renamed to its present name in December 1927. However, on 1 September 1939 it was renamed Kōkūjō-guchi Station (飛行場口駅) after an Imperial Japanese Army air field established in the area. The name reverted to Miyoshichō Station in 1945 after the end of the war.
