Yama-mae

No publicly available departure data for this station.

Yamamae Station opened on 1 April 1897 as a Nippon Railway station between Ashikaga and Omata, on what is now the Ryōmō Line. The line was nationalised in 1906 and, after Japanese National Railways was privatised on 1 April 1987, the station came under JR East. Suica IC-card service began on 18 November 2001, and the station became unstaffed on 1 March 2019. A new station building entered service on 7 March 2026, replacing the wooden structure that had stood for most of the twentieth century. It is the closest railway access for Ashikaga University.

Yamamae stands at the meeting point of two former villages — Sakanishi and Yamamae — whose names survive in adjacent prefectural-road designations rather than on the modern map.
