Yashima Station opened on 1 August 1925 as an intermediate stop when the Ministry of Railways' Kōtoku Line was extended eastwards to Shido. Freight handling ended in 1970 and the station was placed under outsourced staffing in 1984. With Japanese National Railways' privatisation on 1 April 1987 control passed to JR Shikoku and the station became unstaffed, before staff were reinstated in April 1988; from April 1992 station duties were contracted to the JR Shikoku Group's Willie Winkie bakery in the station building, and from July 2009 to the local Furutakamatsu district community council. ICOCA support began on 14 March 2020 (Takamatsu direction only). Since the timetable revision of 15 March 2025 all Uzushio limited expresses stop here. The station's display panel describes it as a station associated with the Genpei War.
