Station history

The name of the station was originally Eikyo-eki, but changed to its present pronunciation of the same kanji on August1, 1918. Freight services were discontinued from April 20, 1960. With the dissolution and privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of the East Japan Railway Company. The station building was rebuilt in 1997.
