History

edit

The station was built by Bansyū Railways in 1923. It was later transferred to Bantan Railways, then bought by Ministry of Railways.[1] Despite Kajiya Line being listed in one of the Deficit 83 Lines, it was not abolished due to high usage between Nishiwakishi Station (named Nomura Station when the line existed) and Nishiwaki Station. However, it was listed for phase 3 of Specified local lines and the entire line was abolished, along with the station.[2]

The station is currently preserved with a KiHa 30 that used to run on the line.[3]
