Ube-Shinkawa Station was opened on 9 January 1914 with the opening of the Ube Railway. The line was nationalized in 1943, becoming the Ube Higashi Line, and the station was renamed Ube Station (宇部駅, Ube-eki) at that time. The line was renamed Ube Line on 1 February 1948. The station reverted to its original name on 15 September 1964. With the privatization of the Japan National Railway (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan railway Company (JR West). The station is depicted in the 2021 anime film Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time, directed by Ube native Hideaki Anno. [3]
In fiscal 2020, the station was used by an average of 601 passengers daily. [4]
