Location

History

Miraidaira Station opened on 24 August 2005 as a station on the Metropolitan Intercity Railway Tsukuba Express, at Higashi-Narado in Yawara village, Tsukuba District, Ibaraki Prefecture. During planning the working name was Ina-Yawara Station, and the station was originally to be sited about 2 km closer to Moriya than the present location. A train first entered the station for an inspection run on 12 March 2004. On 27 March 2006, after the merger of Yawara village in Tsukuba District and the town of Ina to form the city of Tsukubamirai, the address notation was updated. A further address change followed on 29 June 2013 once the surrounding land-readjustment project was completed. The station is built in a cutting, and it is the only Tsukuba Express station with a station building physically separate from the platforms.

Notes

Miraidaira is the only Tsukuba Express station with a station building set apart from the platforms; the arched beams supporting its roof are made of timber.
