History

Izumo Yashiro Station opened on 18 December 1932 when the Ministry of Railways completed the Kisuki Line extension between Kisuki and Izumo Minari, in what is now Okuizumo town, Shimane Prefecture. Ticket sales by Japanese National Railways staff and parcel handling ended on 1 October 1971, and the station passed to JR West with privatisation on 1 April 1987. It retains its wooden station building but is unattended, with a single side platform after the second track and platform were removed. JR West manages it through the Kisuki Railway Subdivision as a station with limited delegated agency sales, its ticket window selling short-distance tickets by hand.

Notes

The station's platform stood in for Kamedake Station during the filming of the 1974 film Suna no Utsuwa (Castle of Sand); the station building seen on screen was that of Yakawa Station.
