• Tokushima Line: Kawata ⇄ Yamase

The station was opened on 7 August 1900 as Yudate Station (湯立駅) by the privately run Tokushima Railway, as an intermediate station along an extension from Yamase to Kawada and Funato. When the company was nationalised on 1 September 1907 the Japanese Government Railways took over and operated it as part of the Tokushima Line, later the Tokushima Main Line. On 1 April 1957 the Japanese National Railways renamed it Awa-Yamakawa. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Shikoku, and the line was renamed the Tokushima Line on 1 June 1988. It became fully unstaffed on 1 October 2010 and now serves as a stop for all Tsurugisan limited express services on the line.
