Oshima Station (小島駅, Oshima-eki) is a railway station on the Tokushima Line in Mima, Tokushima Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "B17".^[1]^[2]

History[]

Oshima was opened on 25 March 1914 as one of several intermediate stations built when Japanese Government Railways (JGR) extended the track of the Tokushima Main Line from Awa-Yamakawa to Awa-Ikeda. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor to JGR, on 1 April 1987, Oshima came under the control of JR Shikoku. On 1 June 1988, the line was renamed the Tokushima Line.^[3]^[4]

Lines[]

The station is served by the Tokushima Line and is 24.6 km from the beginning of the line at Tsukuda. Only local trains stop at the station.^[5]

Layout[]

The station consists of an island platform serving 2 tracks. A siding branches off track 1 and ends in a large vehicle shed near the station building. Access to the island platform is by means of a footbridge. The station ticket window is unstaffed but there is a ticket vending machine.^[2]^[6]^[7] In addition, a shop near the station sells some types of tickets as a kan'i itaku agent.^[8]
