Iyo-Shirataki Station is located on the older, original, branch of the Yosan Line which runs along the coast from Mukaibara to Iyo-Ōzu and is 239.3 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu. Only local trains stop at the station. Eastbound local services end at Matsuyama. Connections with other services are needed to travel further east of Matsuyama on the line.
Layout
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks. The station building is unstaffed and serves only as a waiting room. Access to the opposite platform is by means of a level crossing.
History
The station started operations on 14 February 1918. At that time, it was an intermediate station on the privately run 762 mm gauge Ehime Railway between Ōzu (now Iyo-Ōzu and Nagahama-machi (now Iyo-Nagahama and was known as Kaya Station (加屋駅, Kaya Eki). On 16 July 1928, the station location was moved to its present location. Ehime Railways was nationalized on 1 October 1933 and Japanese Government Railways (JGR) assumed control, renamed it Iyo-Shirataki and operated the station as part of the Ehime Line. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Shikoku.
