• Kisuki Line: Kamonaka ⇄ Izumo-Daito

Hataya Station opened on 11 February 1918 as a halt on the privately operated Hinokami Railway between Kamo-naka and Daitōchō (present-day Izumo-Daitō), in what is now Unnan, Shimane Prefecture. The Ministry of Railways recognised it as a full station on 29 March 1921. The Hinokami Railway was nationalised on 1 August 1934, bringing the line into the Kisuki Line. Rationalisation in 1954 nearly closed the station, but a year of local campaigning secured its retention and a 1956 goods-platform expansion. Goods services ended in October 1971 and ticketing was contracted out that November. JR West took over in April 1987, the wooden building was replaced by a small shelter in 1994, and the contract arrangement ended in March 2015.

When the Hinokami Railway was nationalised in 1934 the line became the state-run Kisuki Line; Hataya, which had opened as a halt in 1918, survived a 1954 closure proposal thanks to nearly a year of organised resident opposition.
