History
The station opened on 15 May 1931 as Togariyama Station on what is now the Toyama Chihō Railway Tateyama Line, taking its original name from nearby Mount Togari. Until 1965 a separate Yokoe Station existed 600 metres further along the line toward Chigaki; on 15 April 1965 the two stations exchanged names, the present station becoming Yokoe and the older Yokoe becoming Kami-Yokoe. With declining ridership as private vehicle use rose, Kami-Yokoe was closed on 1 April 1997. The station is now an unstaffed ground-level halt with a single side platform, having lost one of its two tracks in 2005, and retains its wooden station building. Its station number is T52.
