Iyo-Ōhira Station (伊予大平駅, Iyo-Ōhira-eki) is a railway station on the Uchiko branch of the Yosan Line in Iyo, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "U07".[1][2]

Lines

The station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 211.3 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Only local trains serve the station. Eastbound local trains terminate at Matsuyama. Connections with other services are needed to travel further east of Matsuyama on the line.[4]

Layout

The station, which is unstaffed, consists of a side platform serving a single track on an embankment. There is no station building, only a shelter for waiting passengers. A flight of steps leads up to the platform from the access road, rendering the station wheelchair inaccessible.[2][5]

After the station, the track goes through the Inuyose Ton'neru (犬寄トンネル, Inuyose ton'neru), which, at 6012 m, is the longest railway tunnel in Shikoku.[3]

History

The station was opened by Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 3 March 1986. It was among a string of three intermediate stations which were set up during the construction of a new stretch of track to link Mukaibara with the Uchiko Line at Uchiko, to create what would later become the Uchiko branch of the Yosan Line. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[6][7]
