History

Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened Minobayashi Station on 27 March 1936 as an intermediate station during the first phase of the construction of the Mugi Line when a track was built from Hanoura to Kuwano. The station building was destroyed in a fire in the summer of 1986. On 1 April 1987, with the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, JR Shikoku took over control of the Station.[6][7]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 614 passengers daily.[8]
