History

Minami-Iyo Station opened on 14 March 2020 as the newest station in the JR Shikoku network. Construction was announced on 26 November 2018 as part of a modernisation programme around Matsuyama; the roughly 170-million-yen cost was funded entirely by Ehime Prefecture and the city of Iyo. The station serves the Yosan Line at 201.9 km from Takamatsu and carries the number U02-1. A new JR Freight Matsuyama Freight Terminal sits adjacent. The single side platform, accessed by a ramp from the access road, is equipped with a weather shelter and a small ticket-machine shelter; the station is unstaffed.

Notes

The station name is taken from Minami-Iyo Village, a municipality that occupied this area until it was merged out of existence in 1954.
