History
The station opened in September 20, 1946 when the Hitahikosan Line was extended from Hoshuyama station to Daigyoji.[2] Coal was transported from this station until the local mine closed in 1963. Ownership of the station building was transferred to the local government in 2008 after the station became unmanned, and a coffee shop was opened in the station.[3]
The station building was destroyed by a landslide during heavy rains in the region on July 5 2017.[3] The building was re-built and opened on December 22 2019, albert with no railway service.[4]
The railway line was replaced with a BRT, which began operations on August 28, 2023.[5]
