Maeda-Minami Station opened on 15 October 1963 as a station on the Japan National Railways (JNR) serving the town of Moriyoshi, Akita. The line was privatized on 1 November 1986, becoming the Akita Nairiku Jūkan Railway.[1]
In 2016 the success of the animated film Your Name brought many visitors to Maeda-Minami Station, since fans noticed the close similarity of the station with a station illustrated in the film.[2] In response, the Akita Nairiku Jūkan Railway ran an express train service that stops at Maeda-Minami from October 7 to November 6.[3]
