Eguchi Station was opened on 25 March 1914 as one of several intermediate stations built when Japanese Government Railways (JGR) extended the track of the Tokushima Main Line from Awa-Yamakawa to Awa-Ikeda. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor to JGR, on 1 April 1987, Eguchi came under the control of JR Shikoku. On 1 June 1988, the line was renamed the Tokushima Line. [6] [7]
