• Kakogawa Line: Ichiba (Hyogo · JR West) ⇄ Kanno

Yakujin Station opened on 1 April 1913 as Kunikane Station, the original terminus of the Banshū Railway in Kakogawa, Hyōgo Prefecture. The line was extended to Nishiwaki on 10 August 1913 and the station became intermediate. On 22 November 1916, the Banshū Railway’s branch (predecessor of the Miki Line) opened, and Kunikane was renamed Yakujin so a second-generation Kunikane Station could take the original name. Following the Bantan Railway era and wartime nationalisation in 1943, the station became part of JNR. With JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR West, and the Miki Railway closure on 1 April 2008 left it a single JR Kakogawa Line stop. Full unstaffing came on 1 April 2022.
