Lines

The station is a station on the Takahama Line and is located 1.2 km from the opposing terminus of the line at Takahama. During most of the day, railway trains arrive every fifteen minutes. Trains continue from Matsuyama City Station on the Yokogawara Line to Yokogawara Station.

Layout

Baishinji Station is an above-ground station with two opposed side platforms and two tracks, and is unmanned. Behind Platform 2 is the coast. Platform 1 is the up/down main line, and Platform 2 is the down main line. This is to allow trains bound for Takahama to enter Platform 1 in the event that platform 2 is hit by high waves during abnormal weather. The double-track section from Matsuyama-shi Station ends at this station, and the section to Takahama Station, the terminal station, is a single track.

History

Baishinji Station was opened on 6 July 1899 as a temporary stop, and was elevated to full station status on 1 May 1931.
