Kiki Station (木岐駅, Kiki-eki) is a railway station on the Mugi Line in Minami, Kaifu District, Tokushima Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "M19".[1][2]

Lines[]

The station is served by the Mugi Line and is located 47.2 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 on an embankment. There is no station building, only a shelter on the platform for passengers. A ramp and a flight of steps lead up to the platform from the access road. Near the base of the ramp is a disused shelter that once housed a ticket window.[2][3][5]

History[]

Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the station on 14 December 1939 as an intermediate station when the track of the Mugi Line was extended from Awa-Fukui to Hiwasa. 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]
