History
Yashiro-dōri Station opened on 20 February 1908 with the final Ino Line completion — the Kōnai–Edagawa section that linked the two earlier-opened segments and put the line through to Ino. At an unknown later date the boarding facility was moved west, the original location becoming a no-boarding signal stop known as the Yashiro passing place. The signal was moved again in 2014 to a new location between this stop and Nakayama to the west. On 21 December 2017 the platform was shifted ten metres north as part of a Tenjingayagawa river-improvement project. The stop passed to Tosaden Kōtsū on 1 October 2014 with the operator merger.

Notes
The original location of the stop became the Yashiro passing-place signal box when the boarding facility moved west — a quirk of single-track operation that lets trams overtake on what is otherwise a single-track section of the Ino Line out into Ino. The signal moved again in 2014, leaving the original 1908 site empty for the first time in a century.
