History
Yonago Airport Station traces back to Ōshinozu Station, opened with the Sakai Line and operated by the Japanese National Railways, later passing to JR West at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. On 15 March 2008 the passing loop was decommissioned and its function moved to the neighbouring Nakahama Station, leaving this stop with a single side platform. On 15 June 2008 the station was relocated about 800 m and renamed Yonago Airport Station so that it could directly serve the adjacent Miho-Yonago Airport terminal. An elevator-equipped covered footbridge was later installed to reach the airport, and a ticket vending machine was added in January 2011. The seasonal Minato Liner rapid service also stops here.

Notes
Yonago Airport is one of very few directly-airport-served stations that is not a terminus; the station's yōkai nickname on the Sakai Line is "Betobeto-san Station."
