History

Mineyoshikawa Station began as Mineyoshikawa Signal (峰吉信号場) on December 20, 1924 on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR), serving the village of Yoshikawa. It was elevated to a full station on June 21, 1930. The JGR became the Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987. A new station building was completed in February 2004.
