History

Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the station on 1 July 1942 as an intermediate station when the track of the Mugi Line was extended from Hiwasa to Mugi. 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]

gollark: Good for them?
gollark: It's the holidays now and I don't actually have the hardware, so I'm going to research OpenCV stuff, come up with a nice way to remote-control it, and look into better motors.
gollark: Currently all it can do usefully is move slightly, the ultrasonic sensor/accelerometer thing aren't hooked up to this Pi.
gollark: One of them seems to be mismatched, so it veers horribly left.
gollark: The ultrasonic one is easy, the accelerometer/gyro was mildly annoying due to poor docs but is doing things now, getting useful stuff from the camera means complex computer vision things.
