History

Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the station on 27 June 1937 as the terminus of the Mugi Line when the track was extended southwards from Kuwano. It became a through-station on 14 December 1939 when the track was further extended to Hiwasa. On 1 April 1987, with the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, JR Shikoku took over control of the station.[6][7]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 76 passengers daily[8]

Surrounding area

Japan National Route 55 passes in front of the station and there is a lot of traffic, but the surrounding area is mountainous with sparse buildings. The station was originally established as a gateway to Fukui Village (later merged into Tachibanacho and then merged into Anan City), but the village center is about 2 kilometers to the north.
