Location
History
Ritsurin-Kōen-Kitaguchi Station opened on 1 November 1986 as a temporary stop on Japanese National Railways' Kōtoku Line. The privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 transferred control to JR Shikoku and the stop was upgraded to a full station; it carries the station number T26. An automatic ticket vending machine was installed in March 1995, and ICOCA support began on 14 March 2020. The unstaffed station consists of a single elevated side platform with no station building, located 3.2 km from the Takamatsu terminus; only local services call. Although the platform has held four cars since opening, for a period most local trains passed through.
Notes
The illustrated tourist signs on the platform were created in September 2012 by students of the art department at Kagawa Prefectural Takamatsu Technical Senior High School.
