History
Nagato-Yumoto Station opened on 23 March 1924 when the Mine Line was extended between Ofuku and what is now Nagatoshi (originally Masaakishi). Located 41.0 km from the junction with the San'yo Main Line at Asa, it served as an intermediate stop for passenger and goods traffic on Japanese National Railways. Operations passed to JR West with the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987. The station originally had two opposed side platforms, but one was retired and converted into a flower bed, leaving a single bi-directional track. Service was suspended from 15 July 2010 to 26 September 2011 after heavy rains and Asa River flooding damaged the line. The station is now unattended.
