On 1 April 1984, upon the privatization of the Kuji Line, the station came under the control of the Sanriku Railway Company. Minami-Rias Line, a segment of Yamada Line, and Kita-Rias Line constitute Rias Line on 23 March 2019. Accordingly, this station became an intermediate station of Rias Line.[1]
