is a passenger railway station located in the southern part of the town of Yamakita, Kanagawa, Japan, operated by Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central). Initially primarily a freight station, used to transport firewood and charcoal from the Tanzawa Mountains, Yaga Station now serves only passenger traffic to nearby Lake Tanzawa and the Nakagawa onsen resorts.
Yaga Station is served by the Gotemba Line and is 20.0 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Kōzu Station
Yaga Station is an unattended station with two opposed ground side platforms.
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]
