With the privatization of the Japanese National Railways on April 1, 1987, it came under the operational control of JR East, and was elevated in status to that of a full station; however, initially only the express Resort Shirakami stopped at the station. As of February 1, 1988 all normal local trains began to service the station. The station building was completed on March 19, 2005.
