Hamayoshida Station is served by the Jōban Line, and is located 329.6 kilometers from the official starting point of the line at Nippori in Tokyo.
The station has two opposed side platforms connected to the station building by a footbridge. The station is staffed.
The station opened on November 10, 1897 as Yoshida Station (吉田駅). It was renamed Hamayoshida on June 1, 1915.[citation needed] The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987. Following severe damage in the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, operations on the Joban Line between Hamayoshida Station and Soma Station were suspended[1] until December 10, 2016.
In fiscal 2018, the station was used by an average of 504 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[2]
