Location
History
Zentsūji Station opened on 23 May 1889 as Yoshida Station, on the private Sanuki Railway, and was renamed Zentsūji just over three weeks later on 15 June. It passed to San'yō Railway in 1904 and to government control in 1906, eventually becoming part of Japanese National Railways. The line is today's JR Shikoku Dosan Line and the station retains its original wooden building, expanded with a porte-cochère for the army's 1922 special grand manoeuvres; the roof was changed from gabled to hipped in a 1991 renovation. The building was registered as a Tangible Cultural Property in 2002 and recognised as Modern Industrial Heritage in February 2009. ICOCA contactless ticketing became available on 14 March 2020.
Notes
A property tag dated 30 March 1889 survives on the wooden building, raising the possibility that this is the oldest active station building in Japan — older even than the structure at Kamezaki on the Taketoyo Line.
