On September 1, 1907, the Bōsō Railway was nationalized and became part of the Japanese Government Railways, which was transformed into the Japanese National Railways (JNR) after World War II. Freight operations were discontinued on October 1, 1962. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japan National Railways on April 1, 1987.
