Location

History

Hakawa Station opened on 1 October 1964 as a new infill stop on the existing Dosan Line in what is now the town of Ino, Agawa District, Kōchi Prefecture. The station was operated by Japanese National Railways from the start and passed to JR Shikoku on 1 April 1987 with the JNR privatisation. It sits 139.5 km from the Dosan Line's northern terminus at Tadotsu. The unstaffed station consists of a single side platform serving one track, with no station building — only a weather shelter, a ticket vending machine, and a ramp leading up from the access road.

Notes

The ruins of Genba Castle, the residence castle of Hakawa Genbanokami, stand near the station.
