From 14 March 2015, with the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension from Nagano to Kanazawa, local passenger operations over sections of the Shinetsu Main Line and Hokuriku Main Line running roughly parallel to the new Shinkansen line were reassigned to third-sector railway operating companies.[3] From this date, Sansai Station was transferred to the ownership of the third-sector operating company Shinano Railway.

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 1,424 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[4]
