History

Muya Station opened on 1 July 1916 as the terminus of the privately run Awa Electric Railway (later Awa Railway) line from Ikenotani, in what is today the city of Naruto, Tokushima Prefecture. When the line was extended further northeast on 18 January 1928, the new terminus inherited the Muya name and the original station was renamed Ebisumae. Nationalisation on 1 July 1933 brought the station under the Japanese Government Railways and later JNR; on 1 August 1948 it reclaimed its present name when the further station became Naruto. With the 1 April 1987 JNR privatisation the station passed to JR Shikoku as station N09 of the Naruto Line.

Notes

The station gave up its name and later reclaimed it: it became Ebisumae on 18 January 1928, when a new terminus further northeast took the Muya name, and reverted to Muya on 1 August 1948 after that terminus was renamed Naruto — leaving it once again the only Muya on the line.
