history

The station opened on August 1, 1924, when the Sunzu Tetsudō ( 駿 豆 鉄 道 ) railway company extended the route via the previous end point Ōhito to this point. In May 1933, trains to Tokyo began to run on weekends . The Izuhakone Tetsudō, as the railway company called itself from 1957, stopped freight traffic on December 1, 1966. Almost nine decades after it opened, the station was completely rebuilt. This included a new station building, the roofing of the platforms and the expansion from four to five tracks. After some of the new systems could be used from October 5, 2013, they were fully commissioned on September 13, 2014.
