Nibu Station (丹生駅, Nibu-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Higashikagawa, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "T13".[1][2]

Lines[edit]

Nibu Station is served by the JR Shikoku Kōtoku Line and is located 34.4 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Only local services stop at the station.[4]

Layout[edit]

The station consists of an island platform serving two tracks. The station building is unstaffed and serves only as a waiting room. The island platform is accessed by means of a footbridge.[2][3][5]

History[edit]

Nibu Station was opened on 15 April 1928 as an intermediate stop when the Kōtoku Line was extended eastwards from Sanuki-Tsuda to Hiketa. At that time, the station was operated by Japanese Government Railways (JGR), later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[6][7]
