History

Mizuta Station opened on 30 April 1912 as a stop on the Takamatsu Electric Tramway and became part of the Takamatsu Kotohira Electric Railway (Kotoden) on 1 November 1943 through wartime consolidation. A passing loop was added on 23 June 1946. Work to grade-separate the line around Mizuta began in June 1998, but progress on the Kawaramachi side stalled for years owing to landowner opposition and Kotoden's bankruptcy; land-acquisition proceedings finally restarted in 2006 and the elevated track entered service on 7 October 2007, with Mizuta becoming the first elevated station on the Kotoden network. The station is unstaffed and consists of one island platform serving two tracks, with the station building below.

Notes

Until the early Heisei era, Mizuta was the starting point of a morning rush-hour up train to Kawaramachi: a deadhead unit was coupled at Kawaramachi to a scheduled service, hauled to Mizuta, uncoupled there, and then used as the up train.
