The station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 161.9 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 and an island platform serving three tracks. A station building serves as a waiting room and is linked to platform 1. Access to platforms 2 and 3 on the island is by means of a footbridge. Parking is available at the station forecourt.[2][5][6][3]

History

The station opened on 21 June 1925 as an intermediate stop when the then Sanyo Line was extended westwards from Ōnishi to Kikuma. 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]
