*''Japanese'': 与論駅、ヨロン駅 ''(Yoron eki)''

Yoron Station was meant to be one of a number of stations in a rail line which began to be constructed in the early 20th century on [[Yoronjima]], the southernmost island in the [[Amami Islands]], in [[Kagoshima prefecture]].

Though nothing more was ever built, the station sign, about five meters of track, and a single pair of train wheels can be found several minutes' walk southwest of Yoron Airport, reconstructed in the postwar period and maintained as a historical marker.
