Line
Miraidaira Station is served by the following line:
- Metropolitan Intercity Railway Company
- Tsukuba Express
Semi-rapid and Local trains only stop at this station going towards both Akihabara and Tsukuba.
The semi-rapid train takes about 40 minutes to Akihabara Station in Tokyo. The local train takes about 45 minutes. However, the local train is often passed by the Rapid at Otakanomori Station. Riders who want to go to Akihabara are officially advised to switch trains at this station. But doing so during peak travel times usually results in not getting a seat. Riders should switch at station number 15, Moriya for the Rapid service to Akihabara.
Riders going to Tsukuba can take either the Local or the Semi-rapid from Miraidaira. The travel time is the same.
Riders going from Akihabara to Miraidaira can take the Rapid and switch at Moriya for a Semi-rapid or local. Or, they can take a Semi-rapid and not change trains. Most Locals departing Akihabara stop at Moriya, so riders need to transfer there to a Semi-rapid for Miraidaira. Some local trains do go all the way through to Tsukuba and stop at Miraidaira.
