History
Hōgi Station serves the Hōgi neighbourhood of Tottori City on the San'in Main Line, 244.7 km from Kyoto, operated by JR West. It opened on 28 April 1907 with the Imperial Railway Agency's extension from Tottori Provisional Station to Aoya, and was placed on the San'in Main Line under the 1909 line-naming reform. Freight handling ended on 1 December 1970, parcel handling on 1 February 1984, and the station was destaffed on 16 March 1991; over-the-counter ticket sales were withdrawn on 31 March 2022. JR West took over on 1 April 1987, and ICOCA became usable on 15 March 2025.
Notes
The 2003 Tottori Prefecture rail-speedup programme passed Hōgi by without converting it to a single-line passing layout, so the station still assigns its platforms by direction: the up main line uses platform 1 and the down main line platform 2, with platform 3 kept as an up-and-down loop for trains waiting to be overtaken.
