History
The stop opened on 1 July 1931 as the Kadosawabashi flag stop on the Sagami Railway. After the line was nationalised on 1 June 1944 the stop was upgraded to a full station on the same day, becoming part of the Ministry of Transport's (later Japanese National Railways') Sagami Line. On 10 October 1962 the station was destaffed, with tickets sold at nearby shops for a period afterwards. JR East took over on 1 April 1987, Suica entered service on 18 November 2001, and the Hashimoto-managed remote-supervision regime began on 13 March 2016. A JA-operated convenience store inside the station closed at the end of November 2008.
