Kushi Station (串駅, Kushi-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Iyo, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "S10".[1][2]
The station is on the older, original branch of the Yosan Line which runs along the coast and is located 225.0 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Only local trains stop at the station and the eastbound trains terminate at Matsuyama. Connections with other services are needed to travel further east of Matsuyama on the line.[4]
Kushi Station consists of a side platform serving a single track on a sidehill cut. There is no station building, only a simple shelter for waiting passengers. A steep access road leads up to the platform from the main road. A bike shed is provided at the base of the access road.[2][5][3]
Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened the station as an added stop on the existing Yosan Line on 1 October 1964. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[6][7]
