History
The station was opened on 7 August 1900 as Yudate Station (湯立駅, Yudate-eki) by the privately run Tokushima Railway. It was an intermediate station along a track extension from Yamase to Kawada and Funato (both now closed). When the company was nationalized on 1 September 1907, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station and operated it as part of the Tokushima Line (later the Tokushima Main Line). On 1 April 1957, Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, changed the name of the station to Awa-Yamakawa. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Shikoku. On 1 June 1988, the line was renamed the Tokushima Line.[6][7]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2014, the station was used by an average of 381 passengers daily.
