History[edit]
JR Kyushu opened the station on 11 March 1989 as an additional station on the existing track of the Hōhi Main Line.[4]
On 17 September 2017, Typhoon Talim (Typhoon 18) damaged the Hōhi Main Line at several locations. Services between Aso and Nakahanda, including Ikoi-no-Mura, were suspended and replaced by bus services. Rail service from Aso through Ikoi-no-Mura to Miemachi was restored by 22 September 2017[5] Normal rail services between Aso and Ōita were restored by 2 October 2017.[6]
