History

Yaga Station was established on March 15, 1907, as the Yaga Signal Stop of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR), the predecessor to the Japanese National Railways (JNR), when the line from Yamakita to Suruga-Oyama was completed. It was upgraded to a full station on July 15, 1947. The line was electrified in 1968, and freight operations discontinued from 1971. With the privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, it came under the operational control of the Central Japan Railway Company. Express train service was discontinued from 1991. A new station building was completed in March 2000.

Station numbering was introduced to the Gotemba Line in March 2018; Yaga Station was assigned station number CB07.[1][2]
