History

Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the station on 1 July 1942 as an intermediate station when the track of the Mugi Line was extended from Hiwasa to Mugi. 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]
