History

Hanoura Station was opened on 15 December 1916 along a stretch of track laid down by the privately run Anan Railway (阿南鉄道, Anan Tetsudo) from Chūden to Hanoura and Furushō. On 27 March 1936, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) built the first stretch of the Mugi Line linking up Hanoura with Kuwano. On 1 July 1936, the Anan Railway was nationalized and the track from Chūden to Hanoura became part of the Mugi Line. The track to Furushō became a branch line. Passenger services were stopped and it was used for freight only. Freight operations stopped on 1 Jul 1943, restarted on 10 May 1950 and finally ceased altogether on 1 April 1961. Thereafter the branch line track was removed.

On 1 April 1987, with the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, JR Shikoku took over control of Hanoura Station.[7][8]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 1036 passengers daily.[9]
