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

Yamubetsu Station opened on 10 November 1925 as a general station when Japanese Government Railways extended the line between Kitahama and Shari. The opening was greeted with a welcome arch and bunting in the station forecourt, and a 14-car inaugural train was met by local schoolchildren. From 1930 the private Kitami Railway terminated nearby, running mixed trains to central Koshimizu; that line closed on 25 August 1939. The station building was rebuilt in November 1968. Freight handling ended in September 1982, parcels in February 1984, and the last staff left in March 1984, after which the station was simply commissioned. JR Hokkaido took over in 1987, and the station has been fully unstaffed since the commissioning was later dropped.

The former staff office of the wooden station building now houses a ramen and coffee shop named 'Ekibasha'.
