History
Yunoo Station originated on 10 April 1943 as the Yunoo Signal Station between Imajō and Sabanami on the state-operated Hokuriku Main Line. It was promoted to a full passenger station on 1 September 1948 in what is now Minamiechizen, Fukui Prefecture. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 it came under JR West. On 16 March 2024, coinciding with the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension between Kanazawa and Tsuruga, the station was transferred to the third-sector Hapi-Line Fukui and is now served by the Hapi-Line Fukui Line.
