Minoura Station opened on 1 April 1916 as an intermediate stop when the then Sanuki Line of Japanese Government Railways was extended westwards from Kan'onji to Kawanoe. Operation passed in turn to Japanese National Railways and then to JR Shikoku on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of JNR. The unstaffed station retains an island platform serving two tracks, with a converted disused freight car installed beside the tracks as a waiting room. Track 1 carries a siding that terminates at a locomotive shed, and access to the island platform is via a level crossing rather than a footbridge — an unusually informal arrangement that remains a feature of the station today.

The waiting room at Minoura is a repurposed disused freight car set beside the tracks; the island platform it serves is reached by a level crossing rather than a footbridge, although steps are needed to enter the waiting room itself.
