• Fukuen Line: Kannabe ⇄ Bingo-Honjo

Yokoo Station opened on 21 July 1914 on the Ryōbi Light Railway in what is now Fukuyama, Hiroshima Prefecture. The company was renamed the Ryōbi Railway in 1926 and was nationalised in 1933, the station becoming part of the Fukuen Line. The original route ran south to Yoshizu Station, but that alignment could not be adapted to the Fukuen Line's regauging and was replaced in 1935 by the present route curving west to Fukuyama, making Yokoo the junction between the old alignment and the new one. Freight handling ended in 1959 and the station was reduced to a simply-contracted halt in 1970. JR West took over at the 1987 privatisation, and ICOCA gates were installed in 2007.

Yokoo appears in Kappa Senoo's novel A Boy Called H as the nearest station to the protagonist's maternal grandparents' home.
