The stop was raised in status to that of a full station along with nationalization of Nambu Railway on April 1, 1944 into the Japanese Government Railway (JGR) system, which became part of the Japan National Railways (JNR) from 1946. Freight operations were discontinued in 1973. Along with privatization and division of JNR, JR East started operating the station on April 1, 1987.
