The older, original, branch along the coast has since 2014 been referred to as the Beloved Iyonada Line (愛ある伊予灘線, Ai aru iyonada-sen).

[4] The station, which is unstaffed, consists of a side platform serving a single elevated track.

[2][5][3] Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened the station on 1 October 1963 as a stop on the existing Yosan Line.

With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.
