History

The station opened on 17 June 1921 as Miyoshichō San-chōme Station (三好町三丁目駅). It was renamed to its present name in December 1927. However, on 1 September 1939 it was renamed Kōkūjō-guchi Station (飛行場口駅) after an Imperial Japanese Army air field established in the area. The name reverted to Miyoshichō Station in 1945 after the end of the war.

Station numbering was introduced in August 2016 with Miyoshichō being assigned station number BE03.[1][2]
