Yashio Station (八潮駅, Yashio-eki) is a train station in Yashio, Saitama Prefecture, Japan. Its station number is 08. The station opened on 24 August 2005.
Yashio Station is served by the following line:
The station consists of four platforms, on two islands. Trains generally stop at the outer platforms (1 and 4), but when a faster train stops or passes through the station, the inner platforms are used to hold the slower trains. Yashio is one of three stations on the Tsukuba Express (Nagareyama-ōtakanomori and Moriya) where parallel tracks allow for trains traveling in the same direction to pass each other. Some trains begin or end at Yashio Station, especially during the morning rush between Yashio and the Akihabara terminal.
