Transcription
Lines
Namikata Station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 152.3 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu Station.[3] Only Yosan Line local trains stop at the station and they only serve the sector between Iyo-Saijō and Matsuyama. Connections with other local or limited express trains are needed to travel further east or west along the line.[4]
Layout
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks. There is no station building, only weather shelters on the platforms. The entrance to the station is located at a road level crossing 100 metres away. From there, two long footpaths run parallel and on either side of the tracks, leading to the platforms. To cross from one platform to the other, it is necessary to walk down one footpath to the level crossing and then up the other. Parking lots, a bike shed and a toilet are also provided near the level crossing.[2][5][6][3]
