History
Yagi Station opened on 15 August 1899 on the Kyoto Railway, which was nationalised in 1907 and merged into the San’in Main Line in 1912. Freight handling was discontinued on 1 November 1971 and parcel handling on 1 February 1984. With the 1 April 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways, the station came under JR West, and the marketing nickname "Sagano Line" was adopted in March 1988. The Midori no Madoguchi ticket office opened in November 1992 and ICOCA became usable in November 2003. A new elevated station building entered service on 10 April 2021 along with barrier-free upgrades, and the ticket window was closed on 31 October 2024, with full unstaffed operation following the next day. The station is numbered JR-E14.

Notes
The current platform numbers shifted in 2009: an old central siding once labelled platform 2 was removed when the Kameoka–Sonobe section was double-tracked, after which the former platform 3 was renumbered to fill the gap.
