History

[edit]

The station was opened for operation on 14 January 1922 during Japanese rule which was mostly used for transporting materials to the nearby power plant.[4] The station relocated to its current location on 2 February 1930. The station was severely damaged in the 1999 Jiji earthquake (921 earthquake) on 21 September 1999 and was reconstructed in 2001. Contactless smart card fare gates were installed at this station on 30 June 2015.
