History

Kōge Station opened on December 20, 1919 as a stop on the Inbi Light Railway connecting Tottori with Mochigase, in what is now the town of Yazu, Tottori Prefecture. The light-railway designation was abolished in 1922 and the route became the Inbi Line. On January 20, 1930, the Wakasa Line opened to Hayabusa, making Kōge a junction. The Tottori–Tsuyama through route was completed in 1932. Freight handling ended in 1982 and parcel handling in 1985, and after the 1987 privatization of Japanese National Railways the station passed to JR West. In October 1987 the Wakasa Line was transferred to the third-sector Wakasa Railway, making Kōge a jointly used station. A new combined station building and community facility opened on March 23, 2015.

Notes

A peculiarity of the joint-use arrangement: the entry-ticket fare at Kōge (150 yen) costs more than a regular ticket to neighbouring Yazu Kōkō-mae Station (100 yen).
