Lines edit

The station is a station on the Takahama Line and is located 1.2 km from the opposing terminus of the line at Takahama. During most of the day, railway trains arrive every fifteen minutes. Trains continue from Matsuyama City Station on the Yokogawara Line to Yokogawara Station.[1]

Layout edit

Kinuyama Station is a staffed station with a single island platform and two tracks. Since the ticket gate is on an extension of the platform, it is necessary to cross the railroad crossing when exiting the ticket gate. The platform has an effective length for three 18-meter-class carriages. There is no waiting room like you see in other stations. In case of an emergency such as an accident resulting in injury or death or signal trouble, the Takahama Line will return to Furumachi Station or Mitsu Station. The section between Furumachi and this station is elevated, and there are no railroad crossings.

History edit

Kinuyama Station was opened on 1 November 1927. On 21 August 1995 the station was moved 100 meters in the direction of Takahama.
