History

The station was opened on 23 December 1899 as Yamasaki Station (山崎駅, Yamasaki-eki) by the privately run Tokushima Railway as terminus of the line after the track had been extended from Awa-Kawashima. It became a through-station on 7 August 1900 when the track was further extended to Awa-Yamakawa. 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 25 March 1914, the name of the station was changed to Yamase. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, 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
