History
Kan'onji Station opened on 20 December 1913 as the western terminus of the Sanuki Line, which had been extended west from Tadotsu by Japanese Government Railways. It became a through-station on 1 April 1916 when the line was further extended to Kawanoe. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 control of the station passed to JR Shikoku. It is the principal station of Kan'onji city, Kagawa Prefecture, and stands close to the city hall, the civic hall, and the central library. The station is served by JR Shikoku's Yosan Line.
