History
Yosano Station opened on 31 July 1925 as Tango-Yamada Station, the terminus of the government-built extension from Miyazu. The neighbouring Kaya Railway connected here from December 1926 until its closure in May 1985. In 1932 the Mineyama Line, to which the station then belonged, was merged into the Miyazu Line. Operations transferred to JR West at the 1987 privatisation, then to Kitakinki Tango Railway in 1990, when the station was renamed Nodagawa after the town it served. WILLER TRAINS took over the Miyazu Line in April 2015 and assigned the current name, reflecting the merged town of Yosano. The roof of the station building is shaped like a kimono collar in tribute to local Tango chirimen crepe weavers.
Notes
The station building's roof is styled after a kimono collar in homage to Tango chirimen silk crepe, the area's signature textile product.
