Iyo-Kaminada Station (伊予上灘駅, Iyo-Kaminada-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Iyo, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "S08".[1][2]
Lines
[edit]Iyo-Kaminada Station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 217.1 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Only Yosan Line local trains stop at the station and the eastbound trains stop at Matsuyama. Connections with other services are needed to travel further east of Matsuyama on the line.[4]
Layout
[edit]The station consists of two side platforms serving two tracks. A station building, which is unstaffed, serves as a waiting room. The platforms are linked by a level crossing at either end. A siding branches off the track on the side of the station building. Parking is available at the station forecourt. There is a public telephone callbox outside the station building.[2][5][3]

History
[edit]Iyo-Kaminada Station was opened on 1 December 1932 as the terminus of the Yosan line which had been extended westwards from Iyoshi. It became a through-station on 9 June 1935 when the line (renamed the Yosan Mainline on 1 August 1932) was further extended to Shimonada. 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]
