Location

History

Yoshinaga Station opened on 18 March 1891 in what is today the Yoshinaga neighbourhood of Bizen, Okayama Prefecture, on the line now known as the JR San'yō Main Line. It sits 109.5 km west of Kobe and serves as a local stop with both a side platform and an island platform. The station building is adjacent to platform 1; platforms 2 and 3 are reached by a footbridge. Most services use platforms 1 and 3, while platform 2 is reserved for the two daily turn-back services between Okayama and Yoshinaga. With the privatisation of the Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, the station came under JR West.

Notes

Platform 2 sees very limited use — only twice a day, for the dedicated round-trip turn-back services that loop back to Okayama Station from Yoshinaga.
