Kushi Station (串駅, Kushi-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Iyo, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "S10".^[1][2]

Lines

The station is on the older, original branch of the Yosan Line which runs along the coast and is located 225.0 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.^[3] Only local trains stop at the station and the eastbound trains terminate at Matsuyama. Connections with other services are needed to travel further east of Matsuyama on the line.^[4]

Layout

Kushi Station consists of a side platform serving a single track on a sidehill cut. There is no station building, only a simple shelter for waiting passengers. A steep access road leads up to the platform from the main road. A bike shed is provided at the base of the access road.^[2][5][3]

History

Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened the station as an added stop on the existing Yosan Line on 1 October 1964. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.^[6][7]
