• Ibara Line: Mitani (Okayama) ⇄ Oda (Okayama)

Yakage Station opened on 11 January 1999 with the inauguration of the Ibara Line, a third-sector route running between Sōja and Kannabe. Located 18.2 kilometres from the Sōja terminus, the elevated station has a single island platform serving two tracks, allowing trains to pass each other. The station building, set on the southwest side of the platform, is a Japanese-style structure designed to echo Yakage's heritage as a post town on the old San'yō-dō. It is staffed under a simplified commission arrangement.

Yakage Station is not the only "Yakage Station" in town: southwest of it, near the old San'yō-dō, the former Ibasa Railway's Yakage Station building survives as a bus terminal that still displays a "Yakage Station" signboard, and local people continue to use that name for it.
