History

Anan Station opened on 27 March 1936 as Awa-Tomioka, an intermediate stop on the first segment of the Mugi Line between Hanoura and Kuwano. It was renamed Anan on 1 November 1966; freight handling ended in November 1982, parcel service in February 1984. The station passed to JR Shikoku on 1 April 1987. A new station building opened on 8 May 1991, and the present "hashigami" overhead structure was completed on 19 November 2003, bridging the tracks and tying into the adjacent Anan Chamber of Commerce building. The Midori no Madoguchi closed on 26 January 2011 and reopened on 21 September 2019 after the Warp Plaza travel centre shut. Station number M12.

Notes

Since 1966 a wind-bell display has been mounted near the ticket gate from June or July through September; since 2004 local high-school students take turns writing haiku on the tanzaku strips that hang from the bells.
