Tsuruwa Station (鶴羽駅, Tsuruwa-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Sanuki, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "T14".[1][2]
Lines
[edit]The station is served by the JR Shikoku Kōtoku Line and is located 30.4 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Only local services stop at the station.[4]
Layout
[edit]Tsuruwa Station consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks. There is no station building, but each platform has a weather shelter for waiting passengers. There is no direct link between the platforms. A road level crossing at one end of the platforms is used to cross the tracks. On either side of the level crossing, separate ramps lead up to each platform. A bike shed is provided next to the tracks.[2][3][5]
History
[edit]Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened Tsuruwa Station on 1 October 1961 as an added stop on the existing Kōtoku Line. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, JR Shikoku assumed control and the stop was upgraded to a full station.[6][7]
