History

Yura Station opened on 20 December 1903 as part of the government railway's extension from Kurayoshi to Yabase (now Urayasu), and was reclassified to the San'in Main Line on 12 October 1909. Freight handling ended on 1 April 1972, parcel duties on 14 March 1985, and the station became a JR West stop with the 1 April 1987 breakup of JNR. A 2003 Tottori Prefecture line-speed-up project converted the Tottori-side junction to single-line through-running, and on 15 December 2013 the station was given the nickname "Conan Station" after manga artist Gosho Aoyama, a native of the town of Hokuei. The ticket window closed and the stop became unstaffed on 31 March / 1 April 2023. It is the principal station of Hokuei in Tottori Prefecture.

Notes

The 1.5-km stretch between the station and the Daiei roadside station is lined with bronze statues and other objects depicting characters from Gosho Aoyama's Detective Conan series.
