Location
History
Azōno Station opened on 15 April 1952 as a new intermediate stop on the existing Dosan Line in what is now Kōchi city. It passed to JR Shikoku on 1 April 1987 at privatisation. On 27 February 2001 the station was relocated approximately 100 m east toward Tosa-Ikku and rebuilt from a single-track single-platform configuration to two opposed side platforms with a passing loop — an upgrade tied to the new Kōchi Operations Centre at Nunoshida that increased empty-stock movements through the station. There is no station building; access is via the second platform with a footbridge to the first. The station code is D44.
Notes
Around 2009 the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line's Azamino Station in Kanagawa added simplified-Chinese signage, and the form chosen happens to be identical to the Chinese rendering used at Azōno, despite the two stations being on opposite ends of Japan and bearing no relation.
