Layout

Niida Station, an unstaffed station, consists of a side platform serving a single track. A station building is located slightly away from the platform and serves as a waiting room. A ramp leads from the building to the platform.[2][5] The platform was originally an island format, serving two tracks but one track has been removed.[6]

History

The station was opened by Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 12 November 1951 as an intermediate stop when the Dosan Line was extended westwards from Kageno to Kubokawa. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[3][7]
