The Ekawasaki station, located at the Shimanto City in Kochi Prefecture, Japan, is a station of JR Yodo Line.
The Ekawasaki station plays a role as a key junction of the JR Yodo line. Some trains originate and make connection between up and down line at this station.
I took the movie of station and train at the Ekawasaki station.
The Ekawasaki station is a station of lonely local line, but it has relatively-large wooden station shed.
The lodge next to the station shed is tourist information center called "Shimanto Home Information Center".
Only 8 trains for Uwajima and 7 trains for Kubokawa depart from this station.
The Ekawasaki station had been a station where JR station staff is allocated until Septemper 2010. So there are ample station facilities like ticket-vending machine and ticket booth.
The inside of the station is large and full of sidetracks because the Ekawasaki station had been a terminal of Yodo line from 1953 to 1974.
The Ekawasaki station has 1 platform and 2 tracks. Passengers need to cross a railroad to the station shed.
The train on the Yodo line runs along the Shimanto River, which is often called "the last fresh stream in Japan". Since 1984, Torokko train (*) has been running on the line. * Torokko is sightseeing train with open window. The JR Yodo line is the first line where Torokko runs in Japan.
