Lines
The station is served by JR Shikoku's Dosan Line and is located 141.6 km from the beginning of the line at Tadotsu.[3][4]
Layout
The station consists of a side platform serving a single track. There is no station building, only a weather shelter on the platform for waiting passengers. A ramp from the access road leads up to the platform. A bike shed and parking lots are provided at the base of the ramp.[2]
History
The station was opened by JR Shikoku on 15 March 2008 as a new station on the existing Dosan Line.[3] As JR Shikoku had introduced station numbering in 2006 and numbers "K08" and "K09" had already been assigned to Hakawa and Kusaka respectively, the new station, which was between the two, was given the number "K08-1".
