Bandō Station (板東駅, Bandō-eki) is a railway station on the Kōtoku Line in Naruto, Tokushima, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "T05".[1][2] It is the station closest to Ryōzen-ji, the first temple of the Shikoku 88 temple pilgrimage.

History[]

Bandō Station opened by the privately run Awa Electric Railway (later the Awa Railway) on 15 February 1923. After the Awa Railway was nationalized on 1 July 1933, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station and operated it as part of the Awa Line. On 20 March 1935, the station became part of the Kōtoku Main Line. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Shikoku.[3][4]

Lines[]

The station is served by the JR Shikoku Kōtoku Line and is located 62.1 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[5] Only local services stop at the station.[6]

Layout[]

The station consists of two side platforms serving two tracks. The station building is unstaffed and serves only as a waiting room. Access to the opposite platform is by means of a footbridge.[2][7][5]
