History
Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the station on 27 June 1937 as the terminus of the Mugi Line when the track was extended southwards from Kuwano. It became a through-station on 14 December 1939 when the track was further extended to Hiwasa. 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]
