• Mugi Line: Hanoura ⇄ Awa-Nakashima

Japanese National Railways opened Nishibara Station on 1 October 1964 as an infill stop on the existing Mugi Line in the city of Anan, Tokushima Prefecture. The construction cost of 1.15 million yen was met by the town, with land provided by local residents; more than three hundred residents attended the inauguration and the semi-express Muroto No. 1 made a special stop. JR Shikoku took over from JNR on 1 April 1987 and now operates the station under number M10. The station has no building — only a shelter on its single side platform and a separate toilet block — and a flush toilet was completed in January 1996 with about 2.5 million yen of user donations.

The station's flush toilet was funded by roughly 2.5 million yen of donations from passengers in 1996 — an unusually direct community investment for an unstaffed rural halt.
