History

Muden Station opened on 18 October 1914 as a through-station on the narrow-gauge Uwajima Railway, which then ran from Uwajima to Chikanaga. It sits in the city of Uwajima, Ehime Prefecture, 70.0 km along the present Yodo Line from its start at Wakai. When the Uwajima Railway was nationalised on 1 August 1933 the station passed to Japanese Government Railways, becoming Japanese National Railways property and finally a JR Shikoku station at privatisation on 1 April 1987. The unstaffed stop today consists of a single side platform with a simple shelter, served by JR Shikoku trains under station number G45.

Notes

Ryūkōji, the 41st temple on the 88-temple Shikoku Pilgrimage, lies only about 800 m north of the station, making Muden the quiet rail gateway for o-henro walkers heading to that fudasho.
