It opened on 1929-01-30 as Nishi-Kuwana Station (西桑名駅) on the Ise Railway, and was renamed to its present name in 1930. The Ise Railway became the Sangū Express Electric Railway's Ise Line on 1936-09-15 and was renamed the Nagoya Line on 1938-12-07. Following the Osaka Electric Kido merger of 1941-03-15 it became part of the Kansai Express Railway, and after the 1944-06-01 merger with Nankai Electric Railway it became a station on the Kintetsu Nagoya Line, its present operator. The station has a single island platform with a non-platform passing track on the Yokkaichi side.
