• JR Kure Line: Yano ⇄ Mizushiri

Saka Station opened on 27 December 1903 with the government railway's Kaitaichi-Kure section, briefly leased to the Sanyō Railway in 1904 before reverting in 1906; line names were standardised in 1909 and the station became part of the Kure Line. Freight handling ended in 1976, and a reinforced-concrete station building was completed on 22 January 1979. With Japanese National Railways' 1987 privatisation, the station passed to JR West and received station number JR-Y06. Work on an overhead station building and a north-south free passageway began on 15 July 1999, and the third-generation overhead station building opened on 21 July 2000 together with the Asagao-Road north-south passageway. Saka has been served by the Akiji Liner rapid since 2004, with one side platform and one island platform on three tracks.

The train-approach melodies at Saka are borrowed directly from Hiroshima Station: platform 1 uses the melody of Hiroshima's platforms 4 and 9, and platforms 2 and 3 use that of Hiroshima's platforms 2 and 7.
