Location
History
Kii-Yamada Station opened on 1 October 1952 as an intermediate stop on the Wakayama Line between Hashimoto and Kōyaguchi, then operated by Japanese National Railways. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the West Japan Railway Company. ICOCA support — initially exit-only, with passengers expected to tap on board — was added on 14 March 2020. The station is a single-platform halt with no station building; the platform sits in a cutting alongside Route 24, and a road-level bicycle parking area overhangs part of the platform, providing a de-facto shelter.
Notes
Pupils at the nearby Wakayama Prefectural Kihoku Technical High School donated a mosaic-tile mural to the platform in 2004; embedded within it is a station nameboard rendered in mosaic but styled to match JR West's standard signage.
