The line was extended to Atsugi on July 15, 1926 and freight services were initiated on the same day.

On April 1, 1987, with the dissolution and privatization of the Japan National Railways, the station came under the operation of JR East.

Automated turnstiles using the Suica IC card system came into operation from November 2001.

In June 2010, it was announced that a new station on the Tokaido Shinkansen in the town of Samukawa was under consideration by JR Central.

If this plan were to go through, the station would open after the completion of the first stage of the Chūō Shinkansen.
