Lines

Hashihama Station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 149.6 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu Station.^[3] Only Yosan Line local trains stop at the station and they only serve the sector between Iyo-Saijō and Matsuyama. Connections with other local or limited express trains are needed to travel further east or west along the line.^[4]

Layout

The station consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks. Line 1 is a straight track while line 2 is a passing siding. The station building, linked to platform/track 1, is unstaffed and serves only as a waiting room. Access to platform 2, which also has a weather shelter, is by means of a footbridge. Parking is available at the station forecourt. There is also a designated parking area for bicycles but no shed. A siding branches off line 2.^[2][5][6][3]

History

Hashihama Station opened on 1 December 1924 as an intermediate stop when the then Sanyo Line was extended westwards from Imabari to Ōnishi. At that time the station was operated by Japanese Government Railways, later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.^[7][8]
