Yokote Station opened on June 15, 1905 as a station on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR), serving the town of Yokote, Akita. The Yokosho Railway began operations to the station on August 18, 1918 and the predecessor to the Kitakami line began operations from October 10, 1920. A new station building was completed in November 1924, but was destroyed in American air raids on July 15 and August 5, 1945. The JGR became the Japanese National Railways (JNR) after World War II. The Yokosho Line ceased operations on April 20, 1971. A new station building was completed in April 1978. All freight operations were discontinued from November 1986. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987. A new station building was opened in October 2011.[1]
