History
Yadamae Station opened on 1986-11-01 as an unstaffed station on the Japanese National Railways Tōhoku Main Line. JR East inherited it at the 1987 privatisation. From 2000-12-02 one return Rapid Shimokita service began calling, but the 2002-12-01 timetable change reverted to all-trains-pass. With the full opening of the Tōhoku Shinkansen on 2010-12-04 the parallel local line was transferred to Aoimori Railway, and the station moved with it. Rapid Shimokita services from Aomori called again from 2017-03-04 until the service was withdrawn entirely on 2021-03-13. The unstaffed station, managed from Aomori, has two side platforms; on weekday mornings staff from Asamushi-Onsen are despatched to collect tickets and to clear snow.

Notes
Although physically next to Aoimori Railway's Aomori bus depot at Yadamae, the nearest Kōnan Bus stop is actually the separate East Overpass (Higashi-kōsenkyō) some distance from the station forecourt.
