With the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of West Japan Railway Company (JR West). Station numbering was introduced in March 2018 with Kōriyama being assigned station number JR-Q34.[2][3]
Passenger statistics
The average daily passenger traffic in fiscal 2020 was 4220 passengers.[4]
