History

Furutakamatsu-Minami Station opened on 1 November 1986 as a temporary stop on Japanese National Railways' Kōtoku Line, established late in the JNR era as part of a broader push to add minor local stations. With JNR's privatisation on 1 April 1987, the stop transferred to JR Shikoku and was upgraded to a full station, receiving station number T22. The unstaffed station lies 10.8 km from the Takamatsu terminus and consists of a single side platform with a small shelter; only local trains call. The Tokushima end of the platform once marked the historical boundary between the city of Takamatsu and the former town of Mure.

Notes

The pond opposite the station, Hirata-ike, served as the area's drinking-water source until completion of the Kagawa Aqueduct, and its northern edge contains a tumulus traditionally identified as the tomb of Prince Kamikushi-no-Mikoto.
