The Tokushima Railway was nationalized on 1 September 1907; the station was subsequently changed from directly operated to contracted operation on 1 February 1983, and temporarily became unstaffed on 1 February 1985. It became a station of Shikoku Railway Company (JR Shikoku) at the 1 April 1987 division and privatization of Japanese National Railways, and was restaffed with two station staff in March 1988, but became unstaffed again on 1 September 2010.
