Location
History
Ritsurin-Kōen-Kitaguchi Station opened on 1 November 1986 as a temporary stop on Japanese National Railways' Kōtoku Line, one of several late-JNR additions intended to expand commuter access in suburban Takamatsu. The 1 April 1987 privatisation transferred control to JR Shikoku and elevated the stop to a full station, designated T26. An automatic ticket vending machine was installed in March 1995, and ICOCA support began on 14 March 2020. The unstaffed station consists of a single elevated side platform with no station building, located 3.2 km from the Takamatsu terminus; only local services call. Although platforms accommodate four cars, most trains historically passed through.
Notes
The illustrated tourist signs on the platform were created in September 2012 by students of the art department at Kagawa Prefectural Takamatsu Technical Senior High School.
