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]
