Ishizuchiyama Station (石鎚山駅, Ishizuchiyama-eki) is a railway station in Saijō, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "Y32".[1][2] It is the main station of the city of Saijō and a major terminal on the Yosan Line with many train services beginning or ending here.

Lines[]

The station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 117.8 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu Station.[3] Only Yosan Line local trains stop at the station and they only serve the sector between Iyo-Saijō and Matsuyama. Connections with other local or limited express trains are needed to travel further east or west along the line.[4]

Layout[]

The station consists of an island platform serving two tracks. The station building is unstaffed and serves as a waiting room. As it is located at a lower level than the track bed, a short flight of steps is needed to reach the level crossing which connects to the platform.[2][5][6][3]

History[]

The station opened on 2 July 1929 as a temporary stop on the then Sanyo Line (讃予線). On 21 March 1933, it was upgraded to a permanent station. At that time the station was operated by Japanese Government Railways, later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[7][8]
