It was transferred to Japanese National Railways in 1949, freight services ended on 21 February 1963, the station was made unstaffed in March 1984 and the booking moved to simple consignment. JR East inherited the station at the 1987 JNR privatisation. The Tōkyō suburban-fare zone was extended to include it on 1 April 2014. A debris flow on 15 August 2021 stopped trains for the day, and a new station building entered service on 29 October 2023.

Old rails removed from elsewhere on the network have been re-used as structural columns for the station's footbridge and platform canopy.
