• Fukuen Line: Shiomachi ⇄ Kisa

Mirasaka Station opened on 15 November 1933 with the inauguration of the Tetsudōshō Fukuen-hoku Line between Takō (now Shiomachi) and Kisa, in what is now Miyoshi, Hiroshima Prefecture. The Fukuen-hoku Line was absorbed into the Fukuen Line in July 1938, and the station became simply a Fukuen Line stop. The station was placed under simplified franchise operation in December 1985 and passed to JR West at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. A two-storey replacement building was funded by Mirasaka town in May 1990 using interest from the national "Furusato Sōsei" one-billion-yen grant programme. The station building today houses a rest area, a taxi office and a second-floor multipurpose hall, and the station itself is unattended.

The current station building, completed in May 1990, was paid for with the interest accrued on the cash gift handed to every Japanese municipality under the late-1980s Furusato Sōsei "hometown creation" programme.
