History

Asanami Station opened on 28 March 1926 as an intermediate stop when the then Sanyo Line was extended from Kikuma to Iyo-Hōjō. 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.[7][8]
