History

Yoshimizu Station on the Tōbu Sano Line opened on 23 June 1889 with the Aso Horse Railway's provisional Kuzū terminus. The horse railway was abolished on 20 March 1894, and the old Yoshimizu Station reopened the same day as a station of the Sano Railway, which Tōbu absorbed on 30 March 1912. On 1 February 1915 the original Yoshimizu site was relocated 2.1 km toward Sano and renamed Horigome, and the present Yoshimizu Station opened separately on 1 July 1915. It became unstaffed under a simple commission arrangement in August 1974. The single island platform is reached by an overhead passageway.

Notes

Despite being unstaffed, Yoshimizu records the second-highest daily ridership of any station in Sano — a level sustained by Sano Nihon University's affiliated middle and senior high schools nearby.
