History

The station opened on 20 December 1913 as an intermediate stop when the track of the then Sanuki Line was extended westwards from Tadotsu to Kan'onji. At that 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.[6][7]

gollark: Tradition kind of works as one.
gollark: They could probably do the same things... not as jobs... but then might feel unhappy about it not contributing to anything.
gollark: I mean, lots don't, but still.
