• JR Kure Line: Karugahama ⇄ Kawaraishi

Yoshiura Station opened on 27 December 1903 when the government railway opened the Kaitaichi to Kure section, in what is now Kure, Hiroshima Prefecture. The line was leased to the Sanyō Railway from 1 December 1904 until that company was renationalised on 1 December 1906, and the route was designated the Kure Line under the 1909 line-naming reforms. The present station building dates from 1946. Freight handling ended on 21 January 1984 and parcel service on 14 March 1985. With JNR's 1 April 1987 privatisation, control passed to JR West. The Midori no Madoguchi staffed ticket window opened in 1992; ICOCA service began on 1 September 2007. The window closed on 31 March 2022 and the station became unstaffed the following day.

A private freight branch once ran from the station to the Maritime Self-Defense Force's Kure Refueling Depot to the southwest. Even after that branch was lifted, the barrier on the south side of the Yoshiura-nishi level crossing just west of the station remained in a position covering three tracks — the Kure Line's two running lines plus the branch's former alignment — until at least October 2013, and was moved north when the crossing equipment was renewed by 2019. Nothing of the branch now remains but a small bridge over a creek west of the station.
