Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened the station on 1 August 1960 as an additional station on the existing track of the Kashii Line. The name used was one which had once belonged to the previous station on the line which had been renamed to Gannosu in 1944. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu took over control of the station.[5][6]
On 14 March 2015, the station, along with others on the line, became a remotely managed "Smart Support Station". Under this scheme, although the station became unstaffed, passengers using the automatic ticket vending machines or ticket gates could receive assistance via intercom from staff at a central support centre.[7]
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 1,165 passengers daily (boarding passengers only), and it ranked 148th among the busiest stations of JR Kyushu.[8]
