With the dissolution and privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of the East Japan Railway Company. Automated turnstiles using the Suica IC Card system came into operation from November 18, 2001. All express trains passed the station from March 2017. In January 2018, the Midori no Madoguchi ticket office ceased operations.
