• JR Yamaguchi Line: Iwami-Yokota ⇄ Aohara

Higashi-Aohara Station opened on 1 April 1961 as Japanese National Railways added a halt between Aohara and Iwami-Yokota on the Yamaguchi Line, serving only railcar passengers and starting unattended. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station came under JR West, which still operates it today. It is a one-platform ground-level halt with no station building, just a small waiting shelter on the platform, 80.6 kilometres from the line’s terminus at Shin-Yamaguchi.

Despite the prefix "East" (Higashi-) in its name, Higashi-Aohara Station actually sits slightly west of the original Aohara Station on the same line.
