History
Rendaiji Station opened on 10 December 1961 on the privately operated Izu Kyūkō Line in Kawachi, Shimoda, Shizuoka Prefecture. The station was provisionally referred to as "Rendaiji-Onsen" during construction. From 1 February 1996 it became a stop for all limited-express services to connect with replacement buses bound for Dōgashima on the Izu Peninsula's west coast, but the Super View Odoriko ceased stopping on 1 April 2007 and remaining Odoriko services bypassed the station from 14 March 2009, restoring its local-service-only status. The station was destaffed on 16 January 2021, and a small café-and-grocery shop opened inside the former staff room on 28 September 2022.
