Minami-Iyo Station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 201.9 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu. Only Yosan Line local trains stop at the station bound for Matsuyama, Iyo-Ōzu and Uwajima.[1]

The station consists of a side platform serving a single track. The platform is equipped with a weather shelter and a "tickets corner", a small shelter housing an automatic ticket vending machine. A ramp leads up to the platform from the access road.

History

[edit]

On 26 November 2018, JR Shikoku announced the planned construction of the station, as part of a modernization project in the Matsuyama area. The station name comes from an old village that used to be in the area.[2]

The station opened on 14 March 2020, at a cost of 170 million yen. A new Matsuyama Freight Terminal was also built next to the station.[3]
