History[]

The station opened on 28 April 1929 when the line was extended from Sanuki-Saida southwards to Tsukuda Signal Station (now Tsukuda), thus linking up with the track of the Tokushima Line and providing service to Awa-Ikeda. At this time the line was known as the Sanyo Line and was operated by Japanese Government Railways (JGR) which was later corporatised as Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.^[3]^[6]
