Iyo-Izushi Station (伊予出石駅, Iyo-Izushi-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 "S13".[1][2]
Lines
Iyo-Izushi Station is located on the older, original, branch of the Yosan Line which runs along the coast from Mukaibara to Iyo-Ōzu and is 235.9 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]
Layout
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of a side platform serving a single track. There is no station building, only a shelter on the platform for waiting passengers. A flight of steps leads up to the platform from the access road. A bike shed is provided nearby.[2][5][3]
History
The station opened as Jyoromatsu Station (上老松駅, Jyoromatsu-eki) 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. When the company was nationalized on 1 October 1933, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) assumed control and operated the station as part of the Ehime Line. When the track was regauged to 1067 mm and Iyo-Nagahama was linked up with Kitanada on 6 October 1935, the entire stretch including Jyoromatsu became part of the Yosan Mainline from Takamatsu to Iyo-Ōzu. On 1 April 1950, Jyoromatsu was renamed Iyo-Izushi. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Shikoku.[6][7]
