## History

The station was opened by JR Shikoku on 15 March 2008 as a new station on the existing Dosan Line. As JR Shikoku had introduced station numbering in 2006 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".
