With the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of West Japan Railway Company (JR West). Station numbering was introduced in March 2018 with Kōriyama being assigned station number JR-Q34.[2][3]

Surrounding area
[edit]The surrounding area is dominated by many apartment buildings and public housing. The traditional exit to the city center is on the west side of the station, but the east side has been redeveloped and a shopping mall is now open.
