Lines

The station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 88.6 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Yosan line local, Rapid Sunport, and Nanpū Relay services stop at the station.[4]

Layout

The station consists of an island platform serving two tracks. A station building beside the tracks is unstaffed and serves only as a waiting room. Access to the island platform is by means of a level crossing. A passing siding runs to the side of platform/line 1 and it is necessary to cross it on the way to the island platform. Several other dead-end sidings branch of the tracks.[2][5][6][3]

  • A passenger uses the level crossing to reach the island platform. On the left, the passing siding is being used by a track maintenance vehicle.

History

The station opened on 1 September 1919 as the terminus of the then Sanuki Line which had been extended westwards from Iyo-Mishima. It became a through station on 21 June 1921 when the line was further extended to Iyo-Saijo. At that time the station was operated by Japanese Government Railways, later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[7][8]
