The "Hashidate" first appeared in 1965 as a semi-express connecting Osaka and Amanohashidate via the Fukuchiyama Line, Sanin Main Line, and Miyazu Line. It became an express service in 1966. In 1968, "Hashidate" services were merged into "Tamba" services. Until March 11, 2011, the "Monju" and "Tango Discovery" were most like the original "Hashidate" service. From 1982 until 1992, the "Hashidate" was an express service connecting and Amanohashidate via the Obama Line and Miyazu Line. Two other services, the "Wakasa" and "Taisha", had service areas that overlapped with the "Hashidate".
