History

Yashima Station opened on October 21, 1938 as Ugo-Yashima Station (羽後矢島駅, Ugo-Yashima eki) on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) Yashima Line, serving the former town of Yashima, Akita. The JGR became the Japan National Railway (JNR) after World War II. All freight operations were discontinued from June 10, 1981. The Yashima Line was privatized on 1 October 1985, becoming the Yuri Kōgen Railway Chōkai Sanroku Line, and the station was renamed to its present name at that time. A new station building was completed on September 25, 2009.
