• JR Geibi Line: Nanatsuka ⇄ Shimo-Wachi

Yamanouchi Station opened on 20 September 1924 as a station on the privately owned Geibi Railway in what is now Shōbara, Hiroshima Prefecture. The line was nationalised on 1 June 1933 and became part of the Shōbara Line, joined the Sanjin Line in 1936, and was incorporated into the Geibi Line on 1 July 1937. Freight handling ended in March 1962 and the station became simple-commission unstaffed in September 1972; the commission ended on 1 April 2008. The station passed to JR West when JNR was privatised on 1 April 1987. What had been an island platform with two tracks now serves as a single side platform after the building-side track was lifted.

The remains of Kōyama Castle — the long-time seat of the Yamanouchi clan, who served as deputy shugo of Bingo Province — stand near the station.
