History

Kazashigaoka Station opened on 21 December 1926 as a station of the Kotohira Electric Railway in what is today Hatada, Ayagawa, Ayauta District, Kagawa Prefecture. The station, carrying station number K11, was established as the nearest stop to the Kazashigaoka villa and residential development built by the company. Its original station building was personally designed by company president Toranosuke Ōnishi, modelled on the contemporary Hankyū Nigawa Station; that building has since been demolished. With the company merger of 1 November 1943 the station passed to the Takamatsu-Kotohira Electric Railroad's Kotohira Line. Because the platform sits inside a cutting reached by a staircase down the slope, a barrier-free rebuild added a new lift and a refurbished waiting room, in service from 30 March 2024.

Notes

Kazashigaoka was voted the most difficult-to-read station name in western Japan in a 2021 ranking compiled by the regional-affairs site Seikatsu-Guide.com.
