Location

History

Kōnokawa Station opened on 1 February 1963 as an added stop on the existing Yosan Line in what is now Iyo, Ehime Prefecture, under Japanese National Railways. The station was the result of a community petition campaign that began around 1958, despite initial scepticism from JNR. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987 control passed to JR Shikoku. The unstaffed station consists of a single side platform serving one track; there is no station building, only a simple shelter, and a ramp descends from the access road above. The station carries the number S07 on the Yosan Line (branded the Ai-aru Iyonada Line).

Notes

Azaleas planted along the line in the mid-1960s and still tended by local residents now bloom each spring along about 30 metres of track, framing a picture spot that the "Iyonada Monogatari" sightseeing train slows down to traverse.
