Yamana

No publicly available departure data for this station.

Yamana Station opened on 10 May 1897 on the Jōshin Line in what is now Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture. Located in Yamanamachi, a district held to be the ancestral seat of the medieval Yamana clan, the station also serves as a de facto entrance to Yamana Hachiman-gū, the clan's tutelary shrine. The 1934 Army Special Grand Manoeuvres designated the area around Yamana as a decisive-battle exercise ground, and Emperor Shōwa boarded and alighted here on that occasion. The station has an island platform with two tracks and a wooden station building on the Shimonita side, connected by a level crossing inside the premises; departing trains operate right-hand running because the departure signals are placed only on the right-hand platforms.

Emperor Shōwa boarded and alighted here in 1934 during the Army Special Grand Manoeuvres, and a commemorative "welcoming-light" stele still stands by the bicycle park beside the line to Yamana Hachiman-gū.
