History
The station opened on 22 July 1940.[1] The line was electrified on 30 September 1985, from which date through-running began to and from the Saikyō Line.
From March 2010, rebuilding work started, adding new entrances on both north and south sides of the station, with escalators leading up to a section in front of the gate, bridging over the two train platforms. New elevators were added, as well as new toilets, one inside and one outside, next to the north entrance. The old entrance was closed, and the new station building was completed during 2011.
