The Nambu Railway was nationalized on April 1, 1944 becoming part of the Japanese Government Railways, and the station came under the control of the Japan National Railways (JNR) from 1949. Freight operations were discontinued after 1955. After the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station was absorbed into the JR East network.
