History
[edit]Konzōji Station opened on 6 October 1896, as an additional station of the existing track built by the Sanuki Railway (讃岐鉄道, Sanuki Tetsudo) from Tadotsu to Kotohira. On 1 December 1904, the railway was acquired by the Sanyō Railway (山陽鉄道, San'yō-tetsudō) and the station formed part of the Yosan Line. The Sanyō Railway was nationalized on 1 December 1906, and the station came under the control of Japanese Government Railways (JGR) which renamed the network the Sanuki Line, and later, the Yosan Mainline. On 28 November 1935, the stretch from Tadotsu to Awa-Ikeda, including Konzōji, was separated out and became the Dosan Line. Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor to JGR, was privatized on 1 April 1987, and control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[3][7]
Surrounding area
[edit]- Konzō-ji (金倉寺), the 76th temple on the Shikoku Pilgrimage is about 400 metres to the northeast of the station.[8]
