is a passenger railway station located in the city of Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "T27".[1]
The station is served by the JR Shikoku Kōtoku Line and is located 1.5 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu. Only local services stop at the station.[2]
Shōwachō Station consists of a side platform serving a single track. There is no station building and the station is unstaffed but a shelter is provided on the platform and a "Tickets Corner" (a small shelter housing an automatic ticket vending machine) is installed. A ramp leads up to the platform from the access road.[3] [4] [5]
Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened Shōwachō Station on 23 March 1987 as an additional stop on the existing Kōtoku Line. Just a few days later, on 1 April 1987, JNR was privatized and control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.
