Awa-Nakashima Station (阿波中島駅, Awa-Nakashima-eki) is a railway station on the Mugi Line in Anan, Tokushima Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "M11".[1][2]

Lines[]

The station is served by the Mugi Line and is located 21.8 km from the beginning of the line at Tokushima.[3] Only local trains stop at the station.[4]

Layout[]

The station consists of a side platform serving a single track. The present track was formerly track 2 of a two-track island platform configuration. The trackbed of track 1, on the other side of the platform is still visible. The station building is unstaffed and serves only as a waiting room. A paved path crosses the trackbed of the former track 1 and leads to a ramp, giving wheelchair access to the platform.[2][3][5]

History[]

The station was opened on 27 March 1936 by Japanese Government Railways (JGR) under the name Awa-Nakajima. It was an intermediate station during the first phase of the construction of the Mugi Line when a track was built from Hanoura to Kuwano. On 15 October 1936, the reading of the station name was changed to Awa-Nakashima, with no change to the kanji characters used. On 1 April 1987, with the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, JR Shikoku took over control of the Station.[6][7]
