History

The station opened on April 29, 1931, as Kamimizo Station (上溝駅) on the Sagami Railway.[1] On June 1, 1944, the Sagami Railway was nationalized and merged with the Japanese National Railways (JNR), at which time the station was renamed Banda Station.[1] On April 1, 1987, with the dissolution and privatization of JNR, the station came under the operation of JR East.[1]

The station building is scheduled to be rebuilt between September 2017 and spring 2018.[2]
