When Mie Kotsu was dissolved on 1 February 1964 the station passed to the Mie Electric Railway, and on 1 April 1965 it was acquired by Kintetsu, becoming part of the Shima Line. The station was temporarily closed in December 1969 for upgrading and reopened, regauged to standard gauge, on 1 March 1970.
