• Kintetsu Shima Line: Shima-Yokoyama ⇄ Shima-Shimmei

Ugata Station opened on 23 July 1929 as a stop on the Shima Electric Railway, 62.8 km from Ise-Nakagawa on the Shima Line in what is now Shima city, Mie Prefecture. Following wartime consolidation, on 11 February 1944 the Shima Electric Railway was merged into Mie Kotsu along with five other private operators. When Mie Kotsu's rail business was separated on 1 February 1964 the station passed to the short-lived Mie Electric Railway, which was absorbed into Kintetsu on 1 April 1965. The current elevated station building, with its single island platform, was completed in a March 1994 rebuild. The station serves Shima City Hall and acts as the gateway to the Goza Shirahama beach area.

Despite serving the city's tourism information centre and city hall, the station originated as a stop on a tiny private interurban absorbed by three successive operators in just over twenty years.
