Yonabaru Station, Railway heritage site in Ōzato, Japan

The railroad station building features nine preserved concrete pillars that withstood wartime destruction and remain as structural elements of the complex.

The Yonabaru railway station initiated operations on January 20, 1915, and maintained service until March 28, 1945, during the final months of World War II.

The station museum exhibits a miniature model of the original railroad complex, created with input from former passengers who used the train services.

The museum displays historical rails, photographs, and infrastructure elements that document the development of transportation systems in Okinawa Prefecture.

Emperor Showa traveled on this railway line during his visit to the region, marking a significant moment in the station's operational history.
