History

It was renamed Iwashimizu Hachiman-gu Mae Station (石清水八幡宮前駅) on 25 December 1939, Yawatacho Station (八幡町駅) on 1 January 1948, and Yawatashi Station (八幡市駅) on 1 November 1977. The name was changed again in October 2019 to reflect the station's proximity to the Iwashimizu Hachimangū Shinto shrine.[2]
