Location

History

Uwajima Station, in Uwajima City, Ehime Prefecture, opened on 18 October 1914 as a through-station on the narrow-gauge line built from Uwajima to Chikanaga by the Uwajima Railway. The line was nationalised on 1 August 1933, placing the station under Japanese Government Railways and later Japanese National Railways. Privatisation on 1 April 1987 transferred control to JR Shikoku. Today the station functions as the joint terminus of the Yodo Line (station number G47, 77.8 km from Wakai) and the Yosan Line (U28, 297.6 km from Takamatsu). It is the starting and ending point of the Uwakai limited express service to Matsuyama, and consists of two staffed ground-level bay platforms serving three tracks.

Notes

Uwajima Station is the joint terminus of two JR Shikoku lines — the Yodo Line and the Yosan Line — and is the start and end point of the Uwakai limited express to Matsuyama.
