In 1996, the HSRC building was inaugurated and a 10-year research organization plan was developed for HiSOR by the Education and Research Council of Hiroshima University. The intent was to create a facility as part of the Graduate School of Science to serve as both a research and educational tool, specifically supporting master's students in the Department of Physical Sciences. In 1997, the first light from HiSOR was emitted and in 1999, the Okayama University beamline was constructed.
