Lines

Ōura Station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 173.8 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[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 consists of a straight track and a passing loop. Only the passing loop is served by the single side platform which the straight track is used by trains which do not stop at the station. There is no station building, only a shelter on the platform for waiting passengers. A ramp leads from the access road to the platform.[2][5][6][3]
