[3] The station consists of two opposed side platforms serving 2 tracks.

[2][4][5] The station was opened on 23 December 1899 as Yamasaki Station (山崎駅, Yamasaki-eki) by the privately run Tokushima Railway as terminus of the line after the track had been extended from Awa-Kawashima.

When the company was nationalized on 1 September 1907, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station and operated it as part of the Tokushima Line (later the Tokushima Main Line).

With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Shikoku.
