History

Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened the station on 1 October 1963 as the western terminus of the then Gannichi Line (岩日線, Gannichi-sen) when the track was extended from 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 203 passengers daily.[1]

gollark: Trouble is that it's slow, so presumably if they did there'd be periodic lag as they updated all their dragons.
gollark: I wonder how hatcheries update their stuff. Is it just periodic or something else?
