Yoake Station, in the city of Hita in Ōita Prefecture, opened on 12 March 1932 as the eastern terminus of the expanding Kyudai Main Line under Japanese Government Railways. It became a through station on 3 March 1934 when the line was extended further east to Hita, and from 1 April 1960 it served as the southern terminus of the Hitahikosan Line. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Kyushu. Torrential rainfall in July 2017 buried the Hitahikosan Line track north of Yoake in mud and debris, services on that section were cancelled, and the route was replaced by a BRT service in 2023.

The traditional tiled-roof station building sits in a hillside cutting reached by a flight of steps from National Route 386, and although Yoake was once a junction, its former Hitahikosan Line tracks were never rebuilt after the 2017 floods.
