History

The station opened on 28 November 1935 when the then Kōchi Line was extended northwards from Toyonaga to Minawa and the line was renamed the Dosan Line. At this time the station was operated by Japanese Government Railways, later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[4][5]

gollark: Ah yes, blame capitalism for all problems anywhere while ignoring stuff like extreme poverty reducing and literacy increasing worldwide.

gollark: Lead doesn't actually exist. It's a government conspiracy.
