• San'in Main Line: Yanase ⇄ Shimo-Yakuno

Kami-Yakuno Station opened on 25 October 1911 as part of the Railway Bureau's Banshū Line branch between Fukuchiyama and Wadayama. With the line naming reform of 1 March 1912 the Fukuchiyama - Wadayama - Kasumi segment was incorporated into the San'in Main Line, where the station has remained. From 15 December 1970 staffing was cut to daytime only, freight handling ended on 1 October 1971, and the station was fully unstaffed from 1 October 1984. With JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987 the station came under JR West. The original wooden station building was demolished in March 1998, and in February 2024 its modest replacement was further reduced to a bench-and-shelter facility.

After the original 1911 wooden station building was demolished in 1998, even its modest replacement was further reduced in February 2024 to a bare bench-and-canopy shelter, leaving the station with virtually no enclosed structure.
