History[edit]
The station was opened on 3 April 1925 when the Japan Government Railways Mine Line was extended between Nagato-Misumi Station and Hagi Station. This portion of the Mine Line was incorporated into the San'in Main Line in 1933. Freight operations were discontinued from 31 March 1977. With the privatization of the Japan National Railway (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan Railway Company (JR West). The station building received protection by the national government as a Registered Tangible Cultural Properties in 1996.[2]
