History
Kami-Yagi Station opened on 25 December 1910 under the name Ōtagawabashi, on what was then a privately operated line in Yagi, present-day Asaminami Ward of Hiroshima. The surrounding track around Ōtagawabashi was electrified on 2 December 1929. When the Kabe Line was nationalized on 1 September 1936 the station took its present name, Kami-Yagi. It passed to the West Japan Railway Company with the dissolution of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, and the platform was lengthened on 15 March 2008. The station is unstaffed and has a single side platform handling one bidirectional track, with an automated ticket machine and no station building of any size.
