On 26 November 2018, JR Shikoku announced the planned construction of the station, as part of a modernization project in the Matsuyama area. The station name comes from an old village that used to be in the area.[2]

The station opened on 14 March 2020, at a cost of 170 million yen. A new Matsuyama Freight Terminal was also built next to the station.[3]
