Station history

Yanagawa Station was opened on April 1, 1949, as a passenger station on the Japanese National Railways (JNR) Chūō Main Line. It has been unattended since March 1, 1985. With the dissolution and privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of the East Japan Railway Company. The station building was rebuilt in November 1990 in a log-cabin style after a fire destroyed the former building. Automated turnstiles using the Suica IC Card system came into operation from November 18, 2001.

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2010, the station was used by an average of 227 passengers daily (boarding passengers only)."山梨県統計年鑑 平成24年刊行" (PDF). Yamanashi Prefecture. November 2012. p. 150・151. Archived from the original (PDF) on April 18, 2019. Retrieved April 18, 2019.</ref> |}
