History

The station was opened on 20 September 1934 by Japanese Government Railways (JGR) on the then Tokushima Main Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Shikoku. On 1 June 1988, the line was renamed the Tokushima Line.[6][7]
