Lines
The station is served by the Mugi Line and is located 77.8 km from the beginning of the line at Tokushima.[3] Only local trains stop at the station.[4]
Layout
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of a side platform serving a single track. There is no station building but a community interaction centre set up by the local municipal authorities is linked to the platform and serves as a waiting room. There is, additionally, a weather shelter on the platform. Access to the platform is by means of a flight of steps from the station forecourt or a ramp from the community interaction centre. A bike shed is provided near the base of the steps.[2][3][5]
History
Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened the station on 1 October 1973 as an intermediate station when the track of the Mugi Line was extended from Mugi to Kaifu. On 1 April 1987, with the privatization of JNR, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[6][7]
