History

Yazu-Kōkō-mae Station opened on 1 October 1996 as a newly built infill station on the third-sector Wakasa Railway's Wakasa Line, located between Kōge and Inaba-Funaoka. In August 2020 the platform shelter was renovated in a wood-grain style under the supervision of industrial designer Eiji Mitooka, whose work also redesigned the line's sightseeing rolling stock.

Notes

Yazu-Kōkō-mae has no station building and no ticket machine, but is classed as a simple-委託 (entrusted) station because a small private shop directly opposite Yazu High School sells tickets on behalf of the railway. Its name—"In front of Yazu High School"—refers to the adjacent Tottori Prefectural Yazu Senior High School and Yazu Town Kōge-Nishi Elementary School.
