History

Yoroi Station opened on 1 March 1912 when the Railway Agency's San'in Main Line was extended from Kasumi to Hamasaka, in what is now the town of Kami, Mikata District, Hyōgo Prefecture. Small-parcel freight handling and the staffed ticket office ended on 15 December 1970. The station building was rebuilt in 1980. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 it came under JR West. Services were temporarily suspended between 17 July and 11 August 2010 for works on the new Amarube Viaduct, with buses substituted. From the March 2012 timetable revision some Local trains began to skip the station, and those trains were redesignated as Rapid services from 16 March 2013; the Rapid designation was dropped at the 13 March 2021 revision, since when all Local services stop here again.

Notes

Platform 1 has been out of regular service since the 2008 timetable revision and its rails were lifted in 2012, but the disused platform remains open to passengers because it looks out over the Sea of Japan; the unattended station also features in Teru Miyamoto's novel "Kaigan Ressha" and in a 2004 TBS dramatisation of "Suna no Utsuwa."
