History

Yuki Station opened on 12 December 1937 when the Railway Ministry extended the Kisuki Line between Yagawa and Bingo-Ochiai. It is the northernmost railway station in Hiroshima Prefecture. The Japanese National Railways ended ticket sales by its own staff and parcel handling in October 1971, retaining only a winter freight presence; year-round, passenger-only operation began in October 1978. With the breakup and privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR West. The station was originally an island platform with two tracks; the former down-line track has since been removed, leaving a single side-platform stop with no station building, and the platform is accessed directly from a small entry near the Bingo-Ochiai end.

Notes

Yuki Station has the latest first-train times of any JR station in the country: the first downbound train leaves at 8:44 and the first upbound at 9:35.
