• Nara Line: Yamashiro-Aodani ⇄ Tamamizu

Yamashiro-Taga Station opened on 15 July 1955 as an unstaffed passenger stop on the Japanese National Railways (JNR) Nara Line, inserted between Yamashiro-Aoya and Tamamizu in the town of Ide, Kyoto Prefecture. The station became unstaffed in October 1984 and passed to JR West with the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987. The original single platform was rebuilt as an elevated station building in April 2000, and a second platform was added in March 2001 to allow trains to pass one another. ICOCA card service began on 1 November 2003, station numbering as JR-D15 was introduced in March 2018, and the line through the station was double-tracked on 6 December 2020.

Before the 2000 rebuild, a large outcrop of rock sat beside the original single platform; both the station road and the platform itself had to detour around it.
