History
Iyo-Shirataki Station began operating on 14 February 1918 as Kaya Station (加屋駅), an intermediate stop on the privately run 762-mm-gauge Ehime Railway between Ōzu and Nagahama-machi. On 16 July 1928 it was moved to its present site, about 300 m from the original position, which lay on the Iyo-Nagahama side. When Ehime Railway was nationalised on 1 October 1933, Japanese Government Railways renamed the station Iyo-Shirataki after a multi-tiered waterfall in the nearby Shirataki Park. The line was re-gauged to 1,067 mm in October 1935 and folded into the Yosan Main Line. Limited-express services stopped calling once the Uchiko shortcut opened in March 1986. After the 1 April 1987 privatisation, control passed to JR Shikoku, which assigned the station the line code "S14".
Notes
A small pond in the car park beside the station building keeps live goldfish; on 23 November each year the station gains temporary staff for the local Ruri-hime festival in Shirataki Park.
