Lines

The station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 30.1 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Yosan line local, Rapid Sunport, and Nanpū Relay services stop at the station. In addition, there are several trains each day running a local service on the Seto-Ōhashi Line which stop at the station. These run in one direction only, from Kan'onji to Okayama. Although Tadotsu is the official start of the Dosan Line, some of its local trains start from and return to Takamatsu. These trains also stop at Sanuki-Shioya.[4]

Layout

Sanuki-Shioya Station consists of two side platforms serving two tracks. There is no station building nor weather shelters on the platform. However part of both platforms run under a road overpass bridge and this affords waiting passengers some shelter from the elements. The station is unstaffed, but each platform has a "Tickets Corner" (small shelter housing an automatic ticket vending machine). Bicycle parking is available underneath the road bridge. Ramps lead up to the platforms from the access roads.[2][3][5]
