Location

History

Shinkawa Station opened on 1 July 1909 in what is now Shimo-Agawa, Iyo City, Ehime, on the Iyotetsu Gunchū Line. It became unstaffed on 1 June 2021. The station has a single side platform serving one track and carries number IY33.

Notes

Until the 1990s the station mainly served visitors to Shinkawa Beach, but bather numbers fell sharply after 1992 — the Seto Inland Sea 'shark scare' — and similar nationwide incidents. Today the station's traffic comes mostly from the new residential development that has grown up to its east.
