• JR Yokohama Line: Sagamihara ⇄ Fuchinobe

Yabe Station traces its origin to 1 September 1950, when the Japanese National Railways opened a temporary Sagami flag-stop to serve workers commuting to the United States Army's Sagami General Depot via the Yokohama Line. It was upgraded to a full station and renamed Yabe on 1 October 1957. The station building was rebuilt as a bridge-style structure in October 1979 when the line was double-tracked. JR East took over on 1 April 1987. Automatic ticket gates were installed on 1 September 1994, Suica acceptance began on 18 November 2001, and smart platform doors entered service on 15 March 2023.

The distance between Yabe and the next station, Fuchinobe, is just 800 metres — the shortest inter-station interval on the Yokohama Line.
