History[]

The station was opened by JR Shikoku on 15 March 2008 as a new station on the existing Dosan Line.^[3] As JR Shikoku had introduced station numbering in 2006^{[citation needed]} and numbers "K08" and "K09" had already been assigned to Hakawa and Kusaka respectively, the new station, which was between the two, was given the number "K08-1".
