History
Gakuen-dōri Station opened on 28 September 2002 in what is now Miki, Kagawa Prefecture, built at the request of Miki Town on the southern edge of the Belle City shopping mall's car park. It was the first new station on Kotoden's Kotohira-Nagao network in 46 years and the first new Nagao Line station in 50 years since Kumonmyō. The station name comes from the adjoining municipal road known as Gakuen-dōri, itself named for the Kagawa Prefectural Miki High School located along it. The station consists of a single bi-directional side platform with ramped entries on each side and is designated station N13.

Notes
The site has a darker history: on 3 November 1978, nearly 24 years before the station opened, a 70 km/h Kotoden train collided with a dump truck at the adjacent Shika-buse Chūō level crossing, killing the train driver and the truck driver — the only fatal employee accident in Kotoden's peacetime history.
