• Ibusuki Makurazaki Line: Satsuma-Imaizumi ⇄ Nigatsuden

Miyagahama Station is a JR Kyushu Ibusuki Makurazaki Line halt at Nishikata, Ibusuki, Kagoshima. It opened on 19 December 1934 as a station on the Railway Ministry's Ibusuki Line (the predecessor of the Ibusuki Makurazaki Line). Freight handling ended on 20 August 1962, and on 31 October 1963 the Ibusuki Line was reorganised as the Ibusuki Makurazaki Line. Following the introduction of CTC signalling on the Ibusuki Makurazaki Line on 8 March 1983, the station was unstaffed, parcel handling was abolished, and the passing-loop infrastructure was removed. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, it passed to JR Kyushu. The station has one side platform and one track, and is unstaffed.

The track once ran right alongside the seawall at the coast, and in fiscal 1990 a national coastal-environment programme proposed a large waterfront resort: some 30,000 m² of reclamation to create a bathing beach and a new seawall, with a road and a pedestrian overpass so that people could walk from the station to the shore. Reclamation began in 1992 and pushed the coastline away from the station, but the plan was delayed by the collapse of the asset bubble, the bathing-beach scheme was eventually cancelled, and only part of the park and road were ever brought into use.
