Passenger services began from January 6, 1916. The station was renamed to its present name on March 1, 1920. The line was nationalized on June 1, 1934, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) system. The JGR became the Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II. The station has been unattended since February 1, 1962. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987. A new shelter was built on the platform in 2005.
