History[edit]
Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the station on 3 April 1935 as an additional station on the existing track of the Kagoshima Main Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, JR Kyushu took over control of the station.[5]
