Location
History
Yonago Airport Station traces back to Ōshinozu Station, opened with the Sakai Line in 1902 under the government's Ministry of Communications; the station passed to JR West at the 1 April 1987 privatisation of the Japanese National Railways. On 15 March 2008 the passing loop was decommissioned and its function moved to the neighbouring Nakahama Station, leaving this stop with a single side platform. On 15 June 2008, when the line was rerouted for the extension of the Yonago Airport runway, the station was relocated about 800 m and renamed Yonago Airport Station, leaving it about five minutes' walk from the Miho-Yonago Airport passenger terminal. An elevator-equipped covered footbridge was later installed to reach the airport, and a ticket vending machine was added in January 2011. The seasonal Minato Liner rapid service also stops here.
Notes
Yonago Airport Station is one of the very few stations directly serving an airport that is an intermediate stop rather than a terminus; its yōkai nickname on the Sakai Line is "Betobeto-san Station."
