History

The station was opened by Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 3 March 1986. It was among a string of three intermediate stations which were set up during the construction of a new stretch of track to link Mukaibara with the Uchiko Line at Uchiko, to create what would later become the Uchiko branch of the Yosan Line. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[7][8]
