Kushi Station (串駅, Kushi-eki) is a railway station on the Yosan Line in Iyo, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "S10".[1][2]

Lines

The station is on the older, original branch of the Yosan Line which runs along the coast and is located 225.0 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Only local trains stop at the station and the eastbound trains terminate at Matsuyama. Connections with other services are needed to travel further east of Matsuyama on the line.[4]

Layout

The station consists of a side platform serving a single track on a sidehill cut. There is no station building, only a simple shelter for waiting passengers. A steep access road leads up to the platform from the main road. A bike shed is provided at the base of the access road.[2][5][3]

gollark: If you're worried about power, you could get dual Lwhatevers.

gollark: Just add another X5675 if you somehow end up needing 12 cores.

gollark: You could get an X5675 *later* perhaps?

gollark: Yes, but there's only one of them.

gollark: <@225457015340793856> I think the two E5645s would be more powerful.
