Miyazawa returned to Albirex Niigata in 2005, but he still found it hard to get playing time. In September 2006, he made another move back to Montedio Yamagata.

In 2011, Montedio Yamagata finished last in the J1 League. This meant they were moved down to the J2 League for the 2012 season. Miyazawa's opportunities to play also decreased in 2012. He decided to retire from professional football at the end of the 2012 season.
