• Sakai Line: Babasakicho

Sakaiminato Station opened on 1 November 1902 as Sakai Station, the terminus of the government-built line then extending from Yonago. It moved to its present site in 1914 and was renamed Sakaiminato on 1 July 1919 to end the duplication with other stations of the same name. At privatisation in 1987 the station passed to JR West as the western terminus of the Sakai Line, 17.9 kilometres from Yonago. The Sakai Line's stations carry nicknames drawn from local yōkai folklore, and Sakaiminato is designated "Kitarō Station" after the manga character associated with the city.

The station building is shaped like a lighthouse, and the road running east from it is the Mizuki Shigeru Road, whose pavements are lined with numerous yōkai sculptures.
