History

The station opened on 29 April 1958. It was also the location of the Chikuho Electric Railway's only depot, which opened in 1959. Initially, there were two tracks, but tracks 3 and 4 were added in 1962, and tracks 5 and 6 were added in 1976 . Track 5 was abolished around 2018 due to a decrease in the number of cars in service due to the scrapping of the 2000 series. The depot was responsible for train inspections and monthly vehicle inspections until closed in 1962, when these functions were transferred to the Nishitetsu Sunatsu factory.

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2021, the station was used by 395 passengers daily.^[2]
