Iyo-Shirataki Station (伊予白滝駅, Iyo-Shirataki Eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Ōzu, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "S14". [1] [2]
Iyo-Shirataki Station is located on the older, original, branch of the Yosan Line which runs along the coast from Mukaibara to Iyo-Ōzu and is 239.3 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu. [3] Only local trains stop at the station. Eastbound local services end at Matsuyama. Connections with other services are needed to travel further east of Matsuyama on the line. [4]
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks. The station building is unstaffed and serves only as a waiting room. Access to the opposite platform is by means of a level crossing. [2] [5] [3]
The station started operations on 14 February 1918. At that time, it was an intermediate station on the privately run 762 mm gauge Ehime Railway between Ōzu (now Iyo-Ōzu and Nagahama-machi (now Iyo-Nagahama and was known as Kaya Station (加屋駅, Kaya Eki). On 16 July 1928, the station location was moved to its present location. Ehime Railways was nationalized on 1 October 1933 and Japanese Government Railways (JGR) assumed control, renamed it Iyo-Shirataki and operated the station as part of the Ehime Line. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Shikoku. [6] [7]
