History

Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened Sekigawa on 15 April 1961 as a new station on the existing Yosan Line. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[7][8]

Surrounding area

The Seki River, which is the origin of the station name, flows slightly south from the station, and crossing the river leads to Japan National Route 11.
