Nyūgawa Station (壬生川駅, Nyūgawa-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Saijō, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "Y36". [1] [2]
Nyūgawa Station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 126.8 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu. [3] Yosan Line local trains which stop at the station 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]
In addition, the following JR Shikoku limited express services also serve the station: [4]
The station consists of an island platform and a side platform serving three tracks. The station building houses a waiting room, a convenience store and a bakery, and a JR ticket window (with a Midori no Madoguchi facility). The island platform is accessed by means of a footbridge. Car parking is available. [2] [5] [6] [7]
A passing loop runs to the west of the island platform and several short sidings branch off the main tracks. [3]

Nyūgawa Station opened on 1 May 1923 as the terminus of the then Sanuki Line which had been extended westwards from Iyo-Saijō. It became a through-station on 1 October 1923 when the line was further extended to Iyo-Miyoshi. 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. [8] [9]
