History
The station started as Matsuoyama Signal Box (松尾山信号場, Matsuoyama Shingōjō) on August 17, 1929, and was replaced by the passenger station under the current name on April 15, 1936. It was originally located in the site of the present Torokko Hozukyō Station on the Sagano Scenic Railway. With the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan Railway Company. The station was moved to the present location on March 5, 1989, when the new route of the Sanin Main Line was opened.[2] The old railway track and the closed station was revived as the Sagano Scenic Railway and its stop on April 27, 1991.
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 358 passengers daily.[3]
