History
Yanagi Station opened on 20 December 1925 on the Ise Railway's Kambe Spur Line in what is today Suzuka, Mie Prefecture. The line's operator changed hands several times: it passed to Ise Electric Railway on 11 September 1926, was transferred to the Sangu Express Railway's Ise-Kambe Line on 15 September 1936, was renamed the Nagoya Line on 7 December 1938, came under the Kansai Express Railway from 15 March 1941, and was merged into Kintetsu when that company was formed on 1 June 1944. The line was finally rebranded as the Suzuka Line on 8 April 1963. The station has been unstaffed since 1 October 1994 and PiTaPa became valid on 1 April 2007. The platform serves a single track in both directions.

Notes
Although built as a side platform, both directions of travel call at the same single platform — Suzuka Line trains in either direction approach from the same side.
