Hataki Station (八多喜駅, Hataki-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Ōzu, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "S15".[1][2]
Lines
Hataki Station is located on the older, original, branch of the Yosan Line which runs along the coast from Mukaibara to Iyo-Ōzu and is 241.7 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Only local trains stop at the station. Eastbound local services end at Matsuyama. Connections with other services are needed to travel further east of Matsuyama on the line.[4]
Layout
The station consists of a side platform serving a single track. The station building is unstaffed and serves only as a waiting room.[2][5][3]
History
The station opened on 14 February 1918. At that time, it was an intermediate station on the privately run 762 mm gauge Ehime Railway from Nagahama-machi (now Iyo-Nagahama) to Ōzu (now Iyo-Ōzu). When the company was nationalized on 1 October 1933, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) assumed control and operated the station as part of the Ehime Line. Subsequently, the track of the Ehime Line was regauged to 1,067 mm. A link up with the Yosan Line was created between Kitanada and Iyo-Nagahama. The stretch of Ehime Line track from Iyo-Nagahama to Iyo-Ōzu, including Hataki was then incorporated into the Yosan Main Line on 6 October 1935. In the process, Hataki was also moved to its present location. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Shikoku.[6][7]
