History

Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened the station on 1 November 1960 as an intermediate station during the construction of the then Gannichi Line (岩日線, Gannichi-sen) from Kawanishi to Kawayama. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR West which then ceded control to Nishikigawa Railway on 25 July 1987.[2][3]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2011, the station was used by an average of 36 passengers daily.[1]

gollark: As you can see, I am not actually very good at OCaml and somewhat adapting a tutorial for Caqti and stuff.

gollark: Hmm, can this be fixed or must I merely experience horrible suffering?
