The station opened on 12 December 1923 when a narrow gauge line owned by the Uwajima Railway (宇和島鉄道) from Uwajima to Chikanaga was extended. The station became the new terminus and was given the name Yoshino Station (吉野駅, Yoshinobu-eki). With the nationalization of Uwajima Railway on 1 August 1933, the station came under the control of Japanese Government Railways (JGR), later corporatised as Japan National Railways (JNR) and was renamed Yoshinobu Station (吉野生駅, Yoshinobu-eki). On 26 March 1953, it became a through-station when the line was extended to Ekawasaki.With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control passed to JR Shikoku. [6] [7]
