Yorihata

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

Yorihata Station, on the JR Central Minobu Line in the town of Nanbu, Minamikoma District, Yamanashi Prefecture, opened on 1 November 1931 as a halt on the privately built Fuji-Minobu Line. It was upgraded to a full station in October 1938 when the Ministry of Railways leased the line, and the line itself was nationalised on 1 May 1941. Operation passed to JR Central at the 1987 privatisation. The single bidirectional side platform sits 31.9 kilometres from the southern terminus at Fuji, has no station building and is unstaffed, served by a simple waiting shelter.

The area of Nanbu that lies across the Fuji River from the station is Kōzone, and because there is no bridge nearby it is more convenient to reach it from Ide or Utsubuna stations than from Yorihata. (The Tokuma settlement, by contrast, lies on the station's own side of the river, reached by crossing the Yorihata level crossing to the north.)
