• Tokushima Line: Nishioe ⇄ Gaku

The station was opened on 19 August 1899 as Kawashima Station by the privately run Tokushima Railway as the terminus of a line from Tokushima, and became a through-station on 23 December 1899 when the line was extended to Yamase. After Tokushima Railway was nationalised on 1 September 1907, the Japanese Government Railways took control and operated it as part of the Tokushima Line. It was renamed Shingo (神後) on 25 March 1914 and given its current name Awa-Kawashima on 1 July 1915. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Shikoku, and the line was renamed the Tokushima Line on 1 June 1988. The station has been unstaffed since 2010.
