Lines
The station is served by JR Shikoku's Dosan Line and is located 80.4 km from the beginning of the line at Tadotsu.[3][4]
Layout
The station consists of an island platform serving two tracks. By the side of the tracks, a station building serves as a waiting room. Access to the island platform is by means of a level crossing.[1][5] A passing siding runs between the station building and the island platform.[6] The station is unstaffed but a shop nearby sells some types of tickets.[7]
History
The station opened on 28 October 1934 when the then Kōchi Line was extended northwards from Ōsugi to Toyonaga. At this 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.[3][8]
