History
Uyagawa Station opened on 1 April 1959 as a new infill halt on the Japanese National Railways' San'in Main Line, between Tsunozu and Hashi, serving passenger traffic only. With the privatisation of the JNR on 1 April 1987 it passed to West Japan Railway Company. The station has a single side platform on the inbound (Masuda-direction) left, with a basic shelter rather than a station building; there is no ticket machine or boarding-certificate dispenser, and it has been unstaffed throughout its life. In fiscal 2022 it served an average of 22 boarding passengers daily, down from 76 in fiscal 1994.
