History
editThe station opened on 1 October 1960 on the existing Dosan Line but at a different location further to the south. After track re-alignment works, the station was moved to its present location on 3 March 1986. At this time the station was operated by Japanese Government Railways, later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[3][6]
