• San'in Main Line: Ayabe ⇄ Tachiki

Yamaga Station opened on 25 August 1910 when the state railway extended its Kyoto Line from Sonobe to Ayabe, in what is now Ayabe, Kyoto Prefecture. With the line-naming revision of 1 March 1912 the Kyoto Line was absorbed into the San'in Main Line and Yamaga became one of its stations. Freight handling was discontinued on 26 August 1971 and parcel handling on 1 December the same year, when the station became unstaffed. The station passed to the West Japan Railway Company (JR West) at the 1 April 1987 privatization. Configuration changes accompanying the 1996 electrification turned the station into a single-track-through layout, and on 13 March 2021 all local trains began stopping after a period of selective bypassing.
