history
The railway company Itsukaichi Tetsudō , which belongs to the Asano - Zaibatsu, opened the station on April 21, 1925, together with the section of the Itsukaichi line to Haijima that still exists today . Initially, the station was called Itsukaichi ( 五日 市 ), but was given its current name on June 1 of the same year. On September 20, 1925, the branch line to Mussashi-Sawai was opened. To get there, passenger trains had to turn around in Musashi-Itsukaichi , move back a short distance to the Sannai signal station to the northeast and continue their journey there again in the opposite direction. This cumbersome procedure did not apply to freight trains, as they did not serve Musashi-Itsukaichi.
On October 3, 1940, the Itsukaichi Tetsudō merged with the Nambu Tetsudō , which also belonged to the Asano-Zaibatsu. During the Pacific War , the government wanted to bring the line under their control, as it was opening a cement plant and was therefore of great strategic importance. On the basis of an ordinance issued in 1941, she nationalized the Nambu Tetsudō on April 1, 1944 . It was initially under the supervision of the Ministry of Transport and Communication, from 1949 the Japanese State Railroad was responsible. For reasons of rationalization, it shut down passenger traffic on the branch line on February 1, 1971. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the station passed into the possession of the new company JR East on April 1, 1987 . The new owner tore down the old, ground-level station and replaced it with a new, elevated building that opened on July 6, 1996. The former route of the branch line was used for the construction of the adjoining viaduct .
