History

Passenger services began from January 6, 1916. The line was nationalized on June 1, 1934, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) system. The station was renamed to its present name on April 1, 1942. The JGR became the Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II. The station has been unattended since February 1, 1962. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987.
