Iyo-Hirano Station (伊予平野駅,Iyo-Hirano-eki) is a passengerrailway station located in the city ofŌzu,Ehime Prefecture, Japan. It is operated byJR Shikoku and has the station number "U16".[1][2]
Iyo-Hirano Station is served by the JR ShikokuYosan Line and is located 247.2 km from the start of the line atTakamatsu.[3] Only local trains stop at the station and the eastbound trains terminate atMatsuyama. Connections with other services are needed to travel further east of Matsuyama on the line.[4]
The station consists of two opposedside platforms serving two tracks. A small station building is unstaffed and serves only as a waiting room. Access to the opposite platform is by means of a level crossing with steps at both ends. A bike shed is provided near station. A siding branches off track 1 and ends near the station building and is used by track maintenance equipment.[2][5][3]
The station was opened on 19 September 1936 when the then Yosan Mainline was extended westwards fromIyo-Ōzu. Iyo-Hirano was the western terminus of the line until 6 February 1939 when the track was further extended toSenjō. At that time, the station was operated byJapanese Government Railways (JGR), later becomingJapanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[6][7]
