Yashu-Yamabe

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

Yashū-Yamabe Station opened on 20 July 1925 on the Tōbu Isesaki Line, 88.5 km from the Asakusa terminus. From 1 February 1928 to 7 July 1935 it served as the junction for the short Tōbu Karishuku freight branch (1.3 km to Karishuku). It was destaffed under a simple commission arrangement on 1 April 1974 and elevated on 23 July 1980. A March 2006 schedule revision substantially reduced daytime through-running to Asakusa, leaving only the limited-express Ryōmō by day. Station numbering (TI-16) was introduced on 17 March 2012 along with the rest of the Tōbu network, and the single elevated island platform uses a boarding-certificate system in lieu of ticket machines.

Although Yashū-Yamabe Station is in Ashikaga, Tochigi Prefecture, the land only about 400 m from the station already belongs to Ōta, in neighbouring Gunma Prefecture.
