History
Sanuki-Shioya Station opened on 27 January 1952 as an added stop on the existing Yosan Line, operated at that time by Japanese National Railways. The 1 April 1987 privatisation of JNR transferred control to JR Shikoku. The station has no main building; instead, each of the two side platforms hosts a small "Tickets Corner" booth housing a vending machine, with bicycle parking under the road overpass that crosses the line. Local trains, Rapid Sunport, Nanpū Relay, and certain Seto-Ōhashi Line and Dosan Line services stop here, with the station numbered Y11.

Notes
Both platforms run partly under a road overpass that doubles as informal weather shelter and bicycle storage — the station has no station building of its own.
