History
Shima-Yokoyama Station opened on 23 July 1929 as Ugataguchi Station on the Shima Electric Railway, serving the Shima Line 61.9 km from Ise-Nakagawa. On 11 February 1944 the Shima Electric Railway was one of seven private operators forcibly merged into Mie Kotsu under wartime consolidation orders. The station took its present name in December 1946. When Mie Kotsu's rail operations were spun off on 1 February 1964 the station passed to Mie Electric Railway, which was in turn absorbed by Kintetsu on 1 April 1965. The station consists of two opposed side platforms connected by a level crossing, has no station building, and is unattended.
