History
Jizōbashi opened on 20 April 1913 as an intermediate stop on the Awa-koku Kyōdō Kisen company's light railway running south from Tokushima toward the port at Komatsushima; from the same date Japanese Government Railways leased and operated the line as the Komatsushima Light Railway. The company was nationalised on 1 September 1917 and the route was eventually reclassified as the Mugi Line on 1 April 1961 when the Komatsushima section was split off. Freight handling ended in 1970, parcel handling and the staffed counter ended in 1972, and the station became fully unstaffed in 2008. JR Shikoku took control at the 1 April 1987 JNR privatisation; the station is M04 on the Mugi Line.
Notes
The 1926 wooden station building's old office was repurposed in July 2014 as the 'Jizōbashi Fureai Station' community space, leased by the Katsuura-Chūbu Community Council and run by the neighbourhood association in front of the station.
