History

Yabase Station opened on 4 July 1928 as a seasonal temporary stop called Yabasehama, between the original Yabase Station (now Urayasu Station) and Akasaki, in what is today the town of Kotoura, Tottori Prefecture. It was upgraded to a year-round station on 20 August 1938 and renamed Yabase. After becoming an agency station in 1968 and being unstaffed in 1972, it joined JR West at the 1 April 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways. ICOCA service is scheduled to begin in spring 2027. The station is a single-platform halt with the building doubling as the Yabase Community Centre.

Notes

The station building is shared with the Yabase Community Centre, and passengers reach the single side platform either by a flight of stairs or an accessible ramp from the centre.
