History

Yamada-Nishimachi Station opened on 27 January 1952 as an in-fill station on the existing Dosan Line, when the line was operated by Japanese National Railways. It serves the city of Kami in Kōchi Prefecture and sits 112.1 km from the Tadotsu starting point of the line. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Shikoku, which assigned it the line-position code "D38". The stop remains an unstaffed wayside halt: a single side platform with a shelter and a ramp from the access road, with no station building. One morning up-bound local train passes through without stopping.

Notes

Despite being a regular scheduled stop, one morning up-bound local train skips Yamada-Nishimachi entirely.
