History

Due to mergers, station fell under the ownership of the Mie Railway on March 1, 1931, and under the Sangu Express Electric Railway (Sanco) on February 11, 1944. On February 1, 1964, the railway division of Sanco split off into a separate company, which came under the ownership of the Mie Electric Railway. The Mie Electric Railway became part of the Kintetsu group on April 1, 1965.[2] Support for PiTaPa and ICOCA began on April 1, 2007.
