History

The station opened on 31 March 1929 when the Yoshino Railway. The Yoshino Railway merged with the Osaka Electric Tramway on 1 August 1929, which in turn merged with the Sangu Express Railway on 15 March 1941 to form the Kansai Express Railway. The Kansai Express Rail merged with Nankai Railway on 1 June 1944 to form the Kintetsu Railway Yoshino Line[3]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 53 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[4]

Surrounding area

There is not a single house in front of the station. This is because the station is located between the village on the south side of the station and the orchards and tourist pear farms on the Oata Plateau on the north side of the station. It was located in this location due to topographical reasons.
