Access to the island platform from the station building is by means of a level crossing and ramp.[2][4][5] The station is unstaffed by JR Shikoku but a tenant has leased part of the building for office space and operates the ticket window (equipped with a POS ticket machine) as a kan'i itaku agent.[6][7]

History
editSadamitsu Station was opened on 25 March 1914 as one of several intermediate stations built when Japanese Government Railways (JGR) extended the track of the Tokushima Main Line from Awa-Yamakawa to Awa-Ikeda. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor to JGR, on 1 April 1987, Sadamitsu came under the control of JR Shikoku. On 1 June 1988, the line was renamed the Tokushima Line.[8][9]
