History
On March 25, 1909, the station began operation. Passenger service began on April 25, 1909 after one month of freight service.[1] The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987.
Due to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster in 2011, operations were halted. Operations south of the station were resumed on June 1, 2014.[2] Operations to Tomioka resumed on 21 September 2017.[3]
