• JR Mito Line: Yuki (Ibaraki) ⇄ Kawashima

Higashi-Yūki Station opened on 1 December 1937 on the Mito Line in what is now the city of Yūki in Ibaraki Prefecture. Operations were suspended on 10 August 1941; service resumed on 1 April 1955 as a diesel-railcar halt without permanent staff. The station was absorbed into the JR East network on 1 April 1987 at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways. Suica IC service began on 18 November 2001, the platform was extended to handle five-car trains in March 2005, and the waiting room was refurbished in February 2009. From the 15 March 2014 timetable revision, all local services began stopping at the station after years in which a few early-morning and late-night trains had passed through.

Higashi-Yūki is the nearest railway station to the Kinugawa river, and the local bus loop run by Yūki City - Yūki Station north exit, Yūki branch office, Higashi-Yūki, Chikusei Yu-yu-kan - serves it free of charge, with no service on Sundays, public holidays, Obon or the New Year period.
