History

The station opened on 1 April 1933 as a new station on the existing Yosan Line. 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.[7][8]

Scenes from the 2010 movie Shodo Girls were filmed at this station.
