• JR Hakubi Line: Bitchu-Hirose ⇄ Hiwa

Minagi Station opened on 17 May 1925 as the southern terminus of the Hakubi-South Line (now part of the Hakubi Line) when the line reached this point from Shisō (today's Gōkei) Station. A through-station status came on 20 June 1926 when the line was extended to Kinoyama. Freight handling ended in 1971, parcel handling in 1984, and the station became a simple consigned-operation station the same year. Following Japanese National Railways privatisation on 1 April 1987 it became a JR West facility, and complete unstaffed operation began on 1 April 2007. On 7 December 2007 the original 1925 wooden station building was registered as a national Tangible Cultural Property.

The 79 m² wooden station building dates from the line's 1925 opening and has been managed by the city of Sōja since 1985; outside of replacing the windows and entrance fittings with aluminium sashes it retains almost its original form.
