History

[edit]

A council established by the city of Kagoshima in 2017 considered the possibility of a new station on the Iso district, which had a number of tourism spots such as the Sengan-en. On 28 November 2018, the opening of the new station between Kagoshima Station and Ryūgamizu Station on the Nippō Main Line was deemed possible by the council, with the condition that the new station does not damage the value of the surrounding spots.[2] The placeholder name for the station was Iso New Station (磯新駅, Iso Shin-eki; "Iso New Station"). The current name was announced on 27 March 2024.[3] The construction of the station was requested to the governor of the Kagoshima Prefecture on 19 December 2019.[4] The opening of the station was planned to be in 2024. The construction cost of the station was mostly paid by private companies, although the prefecture and the city also paid some part.[5] Sengan-en Station opened on 15 March 2025.[6]
