Station history[edit]
Although local residents had petitioned for a station when the section of the Tōkaidō Main Line connecting Shizuoka with Hamamatsu was completed. Yui Station was opened in 1889, the low population and proximity to Kambara Station led to the petition being rejected. However, with the growing importance of agricultural products (green tea, mikan) and Yui's importance as a fishing port, the request for a station was finally granted on April 15, 1916. Regularly scheduled freight service was discontinued in 1971.
Station numbering was introduced to the section of the Tōkaidō Line operated JR Central in March 2018; Yui Station was assigned station number CA12.[1][2]
Passenger statistics[edit]
In fiscal 2017, the station was used by an average of 1,587 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[3]
