History

The station joined the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987, with freight operations coming under the control of the Japan Freight Railway Company. Freight container operations began from October 1994, but were discontinued in March 1996 and all freight operations ceased from April 1, 1999.
