Location
History
Yunotō Station opened on 10 February 1921 as a new stop on the Japanese Government Railways Ōmine Line between Asa and Atsu, in what is today San'yō-Onoda, Yamaguchi Prefecture. The land was provided by the operator of the nearby Yunotōge hot spring. A line-name revision on 23 March 1924 placed the station on the Mine Line. Parcel handling ended in February 1984 and the station was destaffed in February 1985. JR West took over at privatisation on 1 April 1987. The Mine Line has twice been knocked out by Asa River flooding — for fourteen months from July 2010 and again from July 2023, when a replacement-taxi service began linking Yunotō with Asa.
Notes
The station's site was provided to the railway in 1921 by the proprietor of the nearby Yunotōge hot spring, which sits about 250 metres to the south.
