History

The station was inaugurated in October 1992.[1] On 1 January 2006 the station was closed due to low passenger traffic. After that, the roads connecting the platform were removed.[2][3] On 31 May 2019, the station was closed.[4]. The local government made a small renovation work at the former station building where they expanded the observation deck above the tracks.[5]
