• JR Geibi Line: Kotachi ⇄ Mukaihara

Yoshidaguchi Station opened on 28 April 1915 with the inauguration of the Geibi Railway. Its name — "Yoshida entrance" — reflects a compromise: the line could not technically reach the town of Yoshida, so the operator placed this stop about 1 km south, leaving room for a future branch toward the town. That branch was formalised under the 1922 Railway Construction Act but never built. Geibi Railway was nationalised on 1 July 1937, and at the 1987 break-up of JNR the station passed to JR West. The current building, put up by the former town of Kōda in November 1992 as a station combined with a community meeting hall, houses an okonomiyaki restaurant named "Pratt House." Operations were suspended by rain damage in July 2018.

The station opened only after a long dispute: Yoshida town demanded that the new line pass through its centre, but every alternative route the town proposed was rejected as technically impractical. The eventual compromise placed a stop south of the town with the explicit hope that a Yoshida branch would later be built.
