History

Yagami Station opened on 10 February 1930 as the terminus of the newly built Sanshin Line running from Bitchū-Kōjiro, and it became an intermediate stop later that year when the line was extended onward to Tōjō. In 1937 the Sanshin Line was absorbed into the Geibi Line, of which the station has been part ever since. Freight handling ceased in 1972 and the station became unstaffed in 1983. With the 1987 break-up and privatisation of Japanese National Railways the station passed to JR West, which continues to operate it. The station name combines characters from the former villages of Yada and Kamikōjiro, which merged to form Yagami.

Notes

The station name was coined from one character each of Yada (矢田) and Kamikōjiro (上神代), the two villages that merged to form Yagami-mura.
