On 5 July 1972, what became known as the "Shigetō disaster" occurred. Torrential rain over several days led to a series of landslides which engulfed part of the station and surrounding houses. Two locomotives and two passenger carriages were swept into the river valley below with some of the vehicles being carried onto the opposite bank.[5] [6] There were 60 deaths and the damage to the Dosan Line took 23 days to repair.[7] [8]
