Location

History

Yashiroda Station opened on 20 November 1897 as part of the Hokuetsu Railway's Nuttari–Ichinokido section. On 1 August 1907 the line was nationalised, and the station passed to JR East on 1 April 1987 at the privatisation of JNR. Suica became usable from 21 January 2006. A new overhead station building entered provisional service on 14 June 2008 as part of a 2006–2010 station-area improvement plan drawn up by Niigata City and JR East's Niigata branch, with a new west entrance opened on the far side of the tracks. The ticket office closed at the end of November 2023, and the station became fully unstaffed on 1 April 2026.

Notes

The station's role grew with the growth of the Funado residential district on its west side and the location of Niigata Prefectural Niitsu-Minami High School nearby; the city promotes Yashiroda as a transit hub for the Kosudo area, with park-and-ride parking on the east side and a community-shuttle social experiment intermittently operated.
