Maeda-Minami Station opened on October 15 1963 as a station on the Japan National Railways (JNR) serving the town of Moriyoshi, Akita. The line was privatized on November 1, 1986, becoming the Akita Nairiku Jūkan Railway.
In 2016 the success of the animated film Your Name brought many visitors to Maeda-Minami Station, since fans noticed the close similarity of the station with a station illustrated in the film.[1] In response, the Akita Nairiku Jūkan Railway ran an express train service that stops at Maeda-Minami from October 7 to November 6.[2]
