Yatagawa Station opened on 10 May 1929 as the terminus of the Suigun North Line in what is now Kōriyama, Fukushima Prefecture. The line was extended further south to Kawahigashi on 30 October 1931, leaving the station as an intermediate stop on what subsequently became the Suigun Line. Freight handling ended in 1962, and parcel handling along with staffing was withdrawn on 1 June 1983 when the line was placed under centralised traffic control. Following the privatisation of the Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station was absorbed into the East Japan Railway Company network, and the present station building was completed in 2000. The station now has two opposing unnumbered side platforms connected by a level crossing.
