History

Wadahama Station opened on 1 November 1951 as a Japanese National Railways passenger station on the Sakai Line, inserted between Yumigahama and Ōshinozu (now Yonago Kūkō). Operations were contracted out in April 1962, parcel handling was withdrawn and the station was destaffed in September 1972, and a concrete-block single-storey station building replaced the original structure in March 1978. The station passed to JR West at JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987. On 16 March 2019, onboard IC ticket readers brought ICOCA support to Wadahama for the first time.

Notes

Wadahama carries the yōkai-themed nickname "Tsuchikorobi Station", part of a scheme under which every station on the Sakai Line is given a nickname taken from a yōkai.
