Yama-mae

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Yamamae Station opened on 1 April 1897 as a Nippon Railway station between Ashikaga and Omata, on what is now the Ryōmō Line. The line was nationalised in 1906 and, after Japanese National Railways was privatised on 1 April 1987, the station came under JR East. Suica IC-card service began on 18 November 2001, and the station became unstaffed on 1 March 2019. A new station building entered service on 7 March 2026, replacing the wooden station building used until then. School buses to Ashikaga University depart from the station, and students and staff account for much of its use.

Yamamae keeps a two-platform, three-track layout — one side platform and one island platform linked by a footbridge — and is an unstaffed stop managed from Ashikaga Station. School buses to Ashikaga University leave from outside, so students and staff make up much of its traffic.
