History
Yasu Station opened on June 16, 1891 as a station for both passenger and freight operations on the Japanese Government Railway (JGR), which became the Japan National Railway (JNR) after World War II. Freight operations ceased on March 15, 1972. A new station building was completed in January 1973. The station became part of the West Japan Railway Company on April 1, 1987 due to the privatization and dissolution of the JNR. [2]
