History

The station opened on 18 October 1914 as Miyanoshita Station (宮野下駅, Miyanoshita-eki), a through-station on the narrow-gauge line from Uwajima to Chikanaga owned by the Uwajima Railway (宇和島鉄道). With the nationalization of Uwajima Railway on 1 August 1933, the station came under the control of Japanese Government Railways (JGR), later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR), and was renamed Iyo-Miyanoshita. Subsequently, with the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control passed to JR Shikoku.[4][6]

Surrounding area
  • Ryūkōji (龍光寺), the 41st temple on the Shikoku Pilgrimage trail is about 1.3 km to the north-northwest of the station.
