Kotoden-Shido Station

Kotoden-Shido Station (琴電志度駅) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Sanuki, Kagawa, Japan. It is operated by the private transportation company Takamatsu-Kotohira Electric Railroad (Kotoden) and is designated station "S15".

Lines
Kotoden-Shido Station is the eastern terminus of the Kotoden Shido Line and is located 12.5 km from the opposing terminus of the line at Kawaramachi Station.

Layout
The station consists of a single deadheaded island platform, but basically only one track on the south side is used. The north side is shortened by a connecting corridor from the platform to the night duty facility, so even with a 2-car train, the driver's cab door protrudes from the platform. The station is staffed.

History
Kotoden-Shido Station opened on November 18, 1911 as Shido Station on the Tosan Electric Tramway. At that time, it was 50 meters west of the current location. It was relocated to its current location and renamed Shido Ekimae Station (志度駅前駅) in May 1932. On November 1, 1943 it became a station on the Takamatsu-Kotohira Electric Railway. Operations were suspended on January 26, 1945 from Yakuri Station to this station on the Shido Line, but were reopened on October 9, 1949, at which time the station was renamed to Kotoden Shido Station
