Location

History

Japanese National Railways opened Yanagihara Station as an infill stop on the existing Yosan Line on 1 June 1961, after a thirty-year delay: when the Yosan Line's Iyo-Hōjō to Matsuyama section opened, the neighbouring Awai district won the contest to host a station. JR Shikoku took over with JNR's 1 April 1987 privatisation, and the station now bears number Y49. It has no station building — a single side platform serving one track is fronted by a small shelter and a separate kiosk housing the ticket vending machine, with a ramp connecting the platform to the access road and bicycle parking provided behind.

Notes

Because JR East operates a separate Yanagihara Station on the Kitakami Line in Tōhoku, tickets issued at the Ehime station are marked "(讃) Yanagihara" to keep the two apart.
