History

Miyagawa Station opened on 31 December 1893 as the terminus of the privately built Sangū Railway, in present-day Ise, Mie Prefecture. The line was nationalised on 1 October 1907 and reorganised under the Sangū Line designation on 12 October 1909. The current station building was completed in December 1937. Freight handling ended in stages between February 1984 and April 1986, and the station was de-staffed on 1 November 1986. It passed to JR Central at the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987.

Notes

For the four years it was a terminus from 1893, daily passenger numbers at Miyagawa exceeded 1,000 — roughly twice those of Matsusaka — until the opening of Yamada Station in late 1897 cut the figure by about ninety percent.
