Kamojima Station (鴨島駅, Kamojima-eki) is a railway station on the Tokushima Line in Yoshinogawa, Tokushima Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "B09".[1][2]

Lines[]

The station is served by the Tokushima Line and is 50.0 km from the beginning of the line at Tsukuda. Besides local service trains, the Tsurugisan limited express service also stops at Kamojima.[3]

Layout[]

The station consists of two opposed side platforms serving 2 tracks. A passing loop runs on the other side of platform 2 while a siding runs on the other side of platform 1, ending near the station building. The station building houses a shop, waiting room, a JR ticket window (without a Midori no Madoguchi facility) and a JR travel centre (Warp Plaza). Access to the opposite platform is by means of an old-style roofed footbridge.[2][4][5][6]

History[]

The station was opened on 16 February 1899 by the privately run Tokushima Railway as the terminus of a line from Tokushima. It became a through-station on 19 August 1899 when the line was extended to Awa-Kawashima. When the company was nationalized on 1 September 1907, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station and operated it as part of the Tokushima Line (later the Tokushima Main Line). With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Shikoku. On 1 June 1988, the line was renamed the Tokushima Line.[7][8]
