History
[edit]Iyo-Mishima Station opened on 16 September 1917 as the terminus of the then Sanuki Line which had been extended westwards from Kawanoe. It became a through-station on 1 September 1919 when the line was further extended to Iyo-Doi. At that time the station was operated by Japanese Government Railways, later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku and JR Freight.[7][8]
