Location
History
Kotoden-Yashima Station opened on 18 November 1911 as Yashima Station on the Tōsan Electric Tramway, in what is now Yashima-Nakamachi, Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture. The original site stood about 360 m west of the present location. In 1916 the line passed to Shikoku Suiryoku Denki, and on 1 August 1925 the station was renamed Yashima-Tozanguchi after the Kōtoku Line opened its own Yashima Station; the present location dates to 21 April 1929, coinciding with the opening of the Yashima Cable Railway. The 1929 wooden building still stands and was designated a Modern Industrial Heritage site by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry on 6 February 2009. The Takamatsu-Kotohira Electric Railroad assumed operation on 1 November 1943 and the present name dates from 16 April 1950. The station was destaffed on 1 April 2005.
Notes
The 1929 wooden station building is part of the "Konpira-gū Pilgrimage Heritage" group recognised as a Modern Industrial Heritage site by Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry in 2009.
