• San'in Main Line: Igumi ⇄ Iwami (Tottori)

Higashihama Station is a stop on the San'in Main Line in the town of Iwami, Iwami District, Tottori Prefecture, operated by JR West. Although the San'in Main Line had reached the area in 1911, no station was built locally until decades later: after the war, Higashi-mura mayor Okada Kōji petitioned Japanese National Railways more than 20 times, leading to the opening of a provisional halt in 1949 that was upgraded to a full station on 1 January 1950. Freight handling began on 15 July 1954 and ended on 10 October 1968; a passing loop had been completed at the station shortly before, on 26 September that year. It was unstaffed from 10 February 1972 and passed to JR West with the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987.

Higashihama is the northernmost station in both Tottori Prefecture and the Chūgoku region. Just east of the station, near the third up-line block signal on the stretch towards Igumi, stands the boundary marker between JR West's Kinki Regional Headquarters (Fukuchiyama Management Department) and its San'in Branch.
