History
editThe station opened on 15 April 1921. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.
Effective the 16 March 2024 timetable revision, this station was transferred to the Hapi line Fukui Line due to the opening of the western extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen from Kanazawa to Tsuruga.[1]
Passenger statistics
editIn fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 18 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[2]
