The station has stimulated urban growth in the surrounding area, especially after the opening of Ritsumeikan University's Biwako-Kusatsu Campus (BKC) in 1994.

In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 30,443 passengers (boarding passengers only) in 2019,[1] making it the 26th-busiest station by traffic in the West Japan Railway Company's network.
