History

The station opened on September 29, 1915 when Shinano Railway extended the operation from Ariake Station to Ikeda-Matsukawa Station (present-day Shinano-Matsukawa Station). Shinano Railway was integrated into the Japanese Government Railways on June 1, 1937.[1] With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987 the station came under the control of JR East.
