History
Awa-Ikeda opened on 25 March 1928 in the city of Miyoshi, Tokushima Prefecture, and is now the busiest interchange in the western half of the prefecture. It serves JR Shikoku's Dosan Line as station D22 and is 43.9 km from the line's starting point at Tadotsu; Tokushima Line trains running as through services from Sako (B25) also use the station. The Japanese National Railways privatisation of 1 April 1987 placed the station under JR Shikoku. The layout is two island platforms and a side platform serving five tracks linked by a footbridge, with a Midori-no-Madoguchi staffed ticket office on site.
