Each station on the Asa Line features a cartoon mascot character designed by Takashi Yanase, a local cartoonist from Kōchi Prefecture. The mascot for Yasuda Station is a boy wearing a hat with a fish on it. Named Yasuda Ayu-kun (やすだ アユ君), the character is chosen because the nearby Yasudagawa river is known for its Ayu fish.[6]
The train station was opened on 1 July 2002 by the Tosa Kuroshio Railway as an intermediate station on its track from Gomen to Nahari.[7]
In fiscal 2011, the station was used by an average of 119 passengers daily.[7]
