This station on the JR Yosan Line stands in the central district of Shikokuchūō, Ehime Prefecture. Limited express trains stop here, and it serves as the city's gateway for travelers and locals alike. As the main station of the former Iyo-Mishima City, it looks out on a townscape where the smokestacks of a papermaking city rise beyond the station front.
The elevated station building was completed in 1975, the first of its kind in Shikoku. A passage crossing over the tracks connects the north and south sides of the station, making it easier to move between the eastern and western parts of town that the railway had once divided. It is sometimes introduced as Shikoku's first elevated station, with a view of papermaking factory smokestacks.
It is one of the few staffed stations in the area, and a bakery is located inside. Mishima Elementary School lies on the north side of the tracks and Mishima High School on the south, so students fill the station during commuting hours. Beyond travelers, it has long been valued as a line for everyday local life.
Beyond passengers, it is also a freight hub. A dedicated line for Daiō Paper opened in 1970, and container freight still arrives and departs today. The station has long played a role in the logistics of a papermaking city.
Limited express trains run toward Takamatsu, Okayama, and Matsuyama, making it a convenient base for traveling around Shikoku. The streets around the station preserve the old townscape of former Iyo-Mishima, and a visit can be combined with nearby Mishima Shrine and the factory night views along the coast.
