History
Minami-Komatsushima opened on 15 December 1916 as an intermediate stop on the privately run Anan Railway between Chūden and Hanoura. The Anan Railway was nationalised on 1 July 1936 and the line absorbed into the Japanese Government Railways' Mugi Line. Freight handling ended on 1 March 1959 and parcel handling on 1 February 1984. JR Shikoku took over at the 1 April 1987 JNR privatisation, and on 1 February 2012 the city set up a tourist information centre on the premises. The station became permanently unstaffed on 16 March 2024. It carries number M06 and is the central station of Komatsushima city despite the 'south' in its name; the former Komatsushima Station on the now-closed Komatsushima Line shut in 1985.

At an elevation of 1.6 metres above sea level, Minami-Komatsushima is the lowest-lying station on the Shikoku rail network.
