Takase Station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 47.0 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Dosan line local, Rapid Sunport, and Nanpū Relay services stop at the station. In addition, there are two trains a day running a local service on the Seto-Ōhashi Line which stop at the station. These run in one direction only, from Kan'onji to Okayama.[4]

Layout

[edit]

The station consists of an island platform serving two tracks. A station building houses a waiting room and a JR ticket window (but without a Midori no Madoguchi facility).[5] Access to the island platform is by means of a footbridge. Parking is available outside the station.[2][6] Two sidings branch off the tracks on either side of the island platform.[3]

History

[edit]

Takase Station opened on 20 December 1913 as an intermediate stop when the track of the then Sanuki Line was extended westwards from Tadotsu to Kan'onji. At that time the station was named Kamitakase Station (上高瀬駅, Kamitakase-eki) and was operated by Japanese Government Railways, later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). The station was renamed Takase Station on 1 October 1959. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[7][8]
