Shimonada

History

Shimonada Station opened on 9 June 1935 as the temporary terminus of the Yosan Main Line when the route was extended one stop west from Iyo-Kaminada. Four months later, on 6 October 1935, an extension to Iyo-Nagahama turned it into a through station. Freight handling ceased in 1970 and parcel service in 1971, and the station was de-staffed in 1986 under simple-agency operation. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR Shikoku, and on 1 June 1988 the parent line was renamed from Yosan Main Line to Yosan Line. The 1935 wooden station building survives in renovated form, and the station carries the number S09 on the coastal Iyonada branch.

Notes

The platform-side enamel signboard reading "しもなだ" was donated and installed by volunteers in 2014, not by the railway.
