On 12 October 1909, the section between Oji Station and Wakayamashi Station, including this station, became the Wakayama Line, and the section from this station to Sakurai Station became the Sakurai Line. The current station building was completed on 1 August 1984. With the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station was transferred to JR West.
