No publicly available departure data for this station.

Jōko Station opened on 10 March 1899 as Yamagata Station (山潟駅) of the private Iwakoshi Railway, then serving as the terminus from the Kōriyama direction; the line was extended to Wakamatsu on 15 July of the same year. Iwakoshi Railway was nationalised on 1 November 1906, and the station was renamed Jōko on 1 June 1915. Freight handling ended in September 1972, and CTC introduction on the Ban'etsu West Line in March 1983 made the station unstaffed; the current station building dates from that period. With JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR East. The down track was subsequently removed and the station became single-tracked.
