Miyajimaguchi Station opened on 25 September 1897 as Miyajima Station on the privately-built San'yō Railway, when service was extended from Hiroshima to Tokuyama. The San'yō Railway was nationalised in 1906 and the line became the San'yō Main Line in 1909. The station was renamed Miyajimaguchi on 1 April 1942 to reflect its role as the gateway to the ferry crossing for Itsukushima (Miyajima). The current station building, modelled on the torii of Itsukushima Shrine, was completed on 11 September 1964. With JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR West, and on 1 September 2007 ICOCA was introduced. The ferry service was spun off as a separate company in 2009.

Before World War II, naval pinnaces serving fleet anchorages near Hashirajima called at Miyajima Station's pier, so prewar and wartime express services — including the flagship limited express Fuji — stopped here to drop off and pick up naval personnel.
