History
Etchū-Yatsuo Station opened on 1 September 1927 as a stop on what is now JR West's Takayama Main Line, in the Yatsuo district of Toyama. It came under the control of JR West at the 1 April 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways. The station has one ground-level island platform and one ground-level side platform serving three tracks, connected by a footbridge, and retains a staffed Midori no Madoguchi ticket office. It lies 208.7 km from the Gifu end of the Takayama Main Line and 19.5 km from Inotani, where operational control of the line transfers from JR West to JR Central, making it the principal manned station in the rural southern section of the Toyama prefectural network.
