Miyakonojō Station is the principal station of the city of Miyakonojō in southern Miyazaki Prefecture and a junction between the Nippō Main Line and the Kitto Line. Japanese Government Railways opened it on 8 October 1913 as the eastern terminus of the Miyazaki Line, then being pushed east from Yoshimatsu. The line was extended further east in 1914, reached Miyazaki by 1917, and was linked north to the existing Nippō Main Line by 1923. When the direct line to Hayato via Takarabe opened in December 1932, the route through Miyakonojō was redesignated as the Nippō Main Line and the segment back to Yoshimatsu became the Kitto Line. Barrier-free works finished in March 2014.

Until the September 2022 timetable change, the day's last local train from Miyazaki, departing past 23:30, made Miyakonojō the station in Kyushu where the final local train of the day arrived latest.
