• JR Sanyō Main Line: Ōtake ⇄ Iwakuni

Waki Station is a relatively new addition to the Sanyō Main Line, opened on 15 March 2008 between Ōtake and Iwakuni after a seventeen-year campaign by the town of Waki, which until then had been the only municipality crossed by the line without a station of its own. The town financed the station's construction as a petition station, and the western entrance plaza is operated by Waki Town under a joint-management arrangement. The southern 25 metres of the platform extend across the prefectural boundary into the city of Iwakuni. The station has been staffed since opening through a contractor managing both rail and municipal facilities.

The southernmost 25 metres of the platform reach across the prefectural boundary into the city of Iwakuni; Waki is Yamaguchi Prefecture's easternmost station.
