History

Nagato-Yumoto Station was opened on 23 March 1924 with the opening of the Mine Line between Ofuku Station and Masaakishi Station (now Nagatoshi Station) .

The station was out of operation from 15 July 2010 to 26 September 2011 due to damage cased by flooding of the Asa River due to heavy rains.
