History
The station opened as the northern terminus of the Gernika-Pedernales extension of the Amorebieta-Gernika line, on 15 March 1893. Between 1948 and 1949, due to the extension of the line towards Bermeo, the station was completely renovated.

 * Sukarrieta (1980 to 1997)
 * Busturia-Itsasbegi or simply Itsasbegi (from 1997)
