History

The station opened on 20 September 1897. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.

Effective the timetable revision on 16 March 2024, the station was transferred from the ownership of JR West to the IR Ishikawa Railway, serving as the western terminus for the IR Ishikawa Railway and the eastern terminus of the Hapi-line Fukui Line as of the same date.[1] The transfer coincided with the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension from Kanazawa to Tsuruga.[2]
