History

The station opened on 18 October 1914 as the terminus of a narrow-gauge line from Uwajima owned by the Uwajima Railway (宇和島鉄道). It became a through-station on 12 December 1923 when the line was extended to Yoshino (later renamed Yoshinobu). With the nationalization of the Uwajima Railway on 1 August 1933, the station came under the control of Japanese Government Railways (JGR), later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). Subsequently, with the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control passed to JR Shikoku.[4][7]
