History
Yobitsugi Station began service on 7 March 1917 as a stop on the Aichi Electric Railway, the predecessor of today's Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line. With the Aichi Electric Railway's merger into the Nagoya Railroad in August 1935, the station passed to the new operator. A station building was put up in 1950, and parcel handling ceased on 16 February 1967. The Tranpass fare-card system arrived on 15 September 2004, the same day the station was de-staffed; it was replaced by the manaca smart-card system on 11 February 2011. Today the elevated side platforms serve only local trains on the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line.

Notes
The bridge carrying the line over the nearby Yamasaki River sits so close to the water that, in floods, levee floodgates can close the main line and halt all through traffic.
