• JR Nambu Line Hamakawasaki Branch: Kashimada ⇄ Shitte

Yakō Station opened on 9 March 1927 as a station on the privately-operated Nambu Railway in what is now Tsurumi Ward, Yokohama, 2.6 kilometres from the line's southern terminus at Kawasaki. The original station building was destroyed by air raids in 1945 and was subsequently rebuilt. Operations passed to JR East at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. The staffed station today has one side platform and one island platform serving a total of three tracks, with stabling sidings adjacent to the eastern platform; platform 3 is normally used only by Kawasaki-bound services originating here during morning and evening peaks.
