Lines
Jizōbashi Station is served by the Mugi Line and is located 6.0 km from the beginning of the line at Tokushima.[3] Only local trains stop at the station.[4]
Layout
The station consists of a side platform serving a single track. The station building is unstaffed and serves only as a waiting room. The present track was once track 2 of two tracks being served by an island platform. The trackbed of the now removed track 1 runs on the other side of the platform. A paved path from the station building crosses this old trackbed to a ramp which gives access to the platform.[2][5][3]

History
Jizōbashi Station was opened on 20 April 1913 as an intermediate station on a stretch of track laid down by the Awa National Joint Steamship Company (阿波国共同汽船, Awa-koku kyōdō kisen) between Tokushima and the port at Komatsushima (where the rail facilities are now closed). After the company was nationalized in 1 September 1917, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station and operated it as part of the Komatsushima Light Railway and later, the Komatsushima Line. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, JR Shikoku took over control of the station.[6][7]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2017, the station was used by an average of 305 passengers daily[8]
