The line was nationalized in 1906 and became the San'yo Main Line in 1909. Freight operations were abandoned in 1962. With the privatization of the Japan National Railway (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan railway Company (JR West).
In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 1700 passengers daily.[2]
