History

Naoe Station opened on 10 October 1910 when the San'in Main Line was extended from Shōbara to Izumo-Imaichi (now Izumoshi) Station under the Railway Bureau. Freight was discontinued on 10 February 1972 and the station was placed under contract management a month later; staff were withdrawn in 1985 except for a brief re-staffing at JR West takeover on 1 April 1987. ICOCA acceptance began on 17 December 2016. The current overhead station building, the first in Shimane Prefecture, replaces an older wooden building that survives unused beside the track. Naoe has two platforms serving three tracks and remains unstaffed.

Notes

Naoe's overhead (bridge-style) station building was the first of its kind both in Shimane Prefecture and in the wider San'in region.
