Lines

The station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 120.3 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu Station.[3] Only Yosan Line local trains stop at the station and they only serve the sector between Iyo-Saijō and Matsuyama. Connections with other local or limited express trains are needed to travel further east or west along the line.[4]

Layout

The station, which is unstaffed, consists of a side platform serving a single track. There is no station building, only a shelter on the platform. A ramp leads up to the platform from the access road. Bike sheds are located behind the station platform at the base of the ramp.[2][5][6][3]

History
