History

Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened the station on 1 April 1971 as a temporary stop on the existing track of the then Gannichi Line (岩日線, Gannichi-sen). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR West which upgraded Yukaba to a full station. Control was then ceded to Nishikigawa Railway on 25 July 1987.[2][3]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2011, the station was used by an average of 56 passengers daily.[1]

gollark: What is that ””””clear solution””””?

gollark: That is definitely an extreme view.

gollark: *Would* you die? I assume you would just have some debt which they'd have to pay eventually.

gollark: I don't really trust governments to decide exactly what I "need".

gollark: I don't think you can blame it on just that. The American system appears to also have lots of bureaucracy, and indirection which reduces the incentive to have low prices.
