• Naruto Line: Muya

Naruto Station opened on 18 January 1928 as Muya Station, when the privately operated Awa Electric Railway (later Awa Railway) extended its line from the previous terminus, which simultaneously surrendered the Muya name and became Ebisumae Station. Following nationalisation of the Awa Railway on 1 July 1933, the route passed to the Japanese Government Railways and later the Japanese National Railways. The current station name dates from 1 August 1948. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station came under JR Shikoku as the terminus of the Naruto Line, assigned station number N10.

Naruto Station was called Muya until 1 August 1948, when it took the name Naruto and the station down the line — today's Muya Station — took the Muya name back. It was the second such exchange: when the line was extended on 18 January 1928, the original Muya terminus had passed its name to the new end of track and become Ebisumae.
