History
Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the station on 27 June 1937 as an intermediate station when the Mugi Line was extended southwards from Kuwano to Awa-Fukui. On 1 April 1987, with the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, JR Shikoku took over control of the Station.[6][7]
