• JR Sanyō Main Line: Shin-Yamaguchi ⇄ Daidō

Yotsutsuji Station opened on 16 May 1920 as a new passenger-and-freight stop on the San'yō Main Line between Daidō and Ogōri (today Shin-Yamaguchi), in what is now Yamaguchi city. Freight handling ended on 1 May 1961 and parcel handling on 1 February 1984. JR West took over at privatisation on 1 April 1987, and the station was destaffed on 3 December 1994. A new prefabricated station building entered service on 28 January 2021, replacing the original wooden structure, and ICOCA service began on 1 April 2023. The site retains its mixed single-and-island platform layout but the centre track is out of service.

When the wooden station building was demolished in 2020-2021, the old in-fare-zone toilet was removed and the city of Yamaguchi installed a barrier-free public toilet outside the fare zone on the same site — locally managed rather than railway-run.
