History
Eguchi 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, Eguchi came under the control of JR Shikoku. On 1 June 1988, the line was renamed the Tokushima Line.[3][4]
Lines
The station is served by the Tokushima Line and is 11.2 km from the beginning of the line at Tsukuda. Only local trains stop at the station.[5]
Layout
The station consists of an island platform serving two tracks located on a sidehill cutting. A siding branches off track 1. The station building, located at a lower level than the tracks, is unstaffed and serves only as a waiting room. Outside the station building is the entrance to an underpass with steps which leads to the island platform.[2][6][7]
