Along with the division and privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control and operation of the Central Japan Railway Company. A new station building was completed from 2000-2002 (JR Tōkai). Automated turnstiles using the TOICA IC Card system came into operation from November 25, 2006.
