She moved with her family to Houston, Texas, when she was four years old, as her parents were doing research at the University of Texas, and had returned to Kyoto by the age of seven. Miyahara began to learn English during her time in the United States, although she was reluctant to speak it at school, and she did not become fully fluent before returning to Japan. She would later describe English as a focal point in her life along with figure skating, and she made further efforts to improve her English by attending English lessons in Japan and speaking to skaters from other countries. In February 2016, Miyahara graduated from Kansai University High School.
