Location
History
Yono Station opened on 1 November 1912 as a Tōhoku Main Line stop, set up at the site of the former Ōhara signal post established in April 1906. The name was contested at the time, with Yono-machi, Kizaki village, and the Railway Bureau each backing different candidates, before "Yono" was adopted. Freight handling was withdrawn in 1949 and 1959, and the station became an overhead-bridge stop on 20 January 1960 after an eastern entrance was added in November 1958. Operation transferred to JR East at the 1987 privatisation; automatic gates were installed in December 1992, Suica went live on 18 November 2001, and smart platform doors entered service on 9 December 2020.
Notes
Since 2007 the platform-1 departure melody has been the Saitama city anthem "Yume no Machi."
