History
Yashū-Hirakawa Station opened on 1 October 1944 on the Tobu Utsunomiya Line in what is now the Ōmiya-chō district of Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture. It sits 2.0 kilometres from the line's southern terminus at Shin-Tochigi and consists of two opposed side platforms connected to the station building by a footbridge. On 17 March 2012 system-wide station numbering was introduced across all Tobu lines, with Yashū-Hirakawa designated TN-31. By 2024 the station was largely unstaffed apart from limited hours, with operations supervised from Shin-Tochigi; outside those hours, paper boarding-station certificates are issued for cash fare settlement at the destination.
