Sanuki-Aioi Station (讃岐相生駅, Sanuki-Aioi-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 "T09".[1][2]

Lines[edit]

Sanuki-Aioi Station is served by the JR Shikoku Kōtoku Line and is located 47.6 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Only local services stop at the station.[4]

Layout[edit]

The station consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks. The station building is unstaffed and serves only as a waiting room. Access to the opposite platform is by means of a footbridge. It is also possible to access platform 2 from a road running behind it by means of a short flight of steps.[2][3][5]

History[edit]

Sanuki-Aioi Station was opened on 20 March 1935 as an intermediate stop when the Kōtoku Line was extended eastwards from Hiketa to link up with an existing track at Itano to establish a through-service to Sako. 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.[6][7]
