The surrounding area was characterized by rolling sand dunes, ideal for growing watermelons. During the Japanese colonial period, this station was primarily used for transporting rice. The architectural exterior and interior fully reflect the social and historical background of the time, representing one of the few remaining Japanese-Western eclectic wooden station buildings in Taiwan and a typical example of a small railway station from the Japanese colonial era. However, the gradient of the mountain line of the main railway was too steep at the time, limiting transportation efficiency. In light of this, the coastal line railway was completed and opened on October 10, 1922 (Taisho 11).
