Yoshihama Station (吉浜駅 Yoshihama-eki?) was a railway station on the Sanriku Railway Company’s Minami-Rias Line located in the city of Ōfunato, Iwate Prefecture, Japan. It is 21.6 rail kilometers from the terminus of the line at Sakari Station.
Yoshihama Station has a single side platform serving traffic in both directions. The station is unattended.
Yoshihama Station opened on 1 July 1973 as a station on the Japan National Railway (JNR). It was privatized on 1 April 1984, becoming a station on the Sanriku Railway. During the 11 March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, part of the tracks on the Minami-Rias Line were swept away, thus suspending services. The line resumed operations on 3 April 2013 between Sakari and Yoshihama. Services between Yoshihama and Kamaishi resumed on 5 April 2014.
