Formerly, this station had two opposing side platforms and two tracks, allowing train interchange.

At the time, the two platforms were connected by a level crossing.

The station building is now a repurposed JNR Yo3500 series caboose.

With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, JR Hokkaido took over control of the station.

In fiscal 2020, the station was used by an average of 3.8 passengers daily.
