• JR Kure Line: Karugahama ⇄ Kawaraishi

Yoshiura Station opened on 27 December 1903 when the government railway opened the Kaitaichi to Kure section, in what is now Kure, Hiroshima Prefecture. The line was leased to the Sanyō Railway from 1 December 1904 until that company was renationalised on 1 December 1906, and the route was designated the Kure Line under the 1909 line-naming reforms. The present station building dates from 1946. Freight handling ended on 21 January 1984 and parcel service on 14 March 1985. With JNR's 1 April 1987 privatisation, control passed to JR West. The Midori no Madoguchi staffed ticket window opened in 1992; ICOCA service began on 1 September 2007. The window closed on 31 March 2022 and the station became unstaffed the following day.

Until at least 2013, the level-crossing barrier west of the station spanned three tracks — the Kure Line's two main tracks plus a freight branch that ran south to the Maritime Self-Defense Force's Kure Refueling Depot. The branch line is now gone, but a small bridge over a creek still marks where it ran.
