Mugi Station

Mugi Station is served by the Mugi Line and is located 67.7 km from the start of the line at Tokushima.^[3] All trains stop at this station.

Prior to March 2025, it was the southern terminus for the Muroto limited express service, which previously ran between Mugi and Tokushima.^[4][5]

Mugi Station consists of an island platform serving two tracks. As the station was until 1973 the southern terminus of the Mugi line, numerous passing loops and sidings branch off from the main tracks. The station building houses a waiting room and a JR ticket window (without a Midori no Madoguchi facility).^[6] Access to the island platform is by means of a level crossing with ramps.^[2][3][7]

Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the station on 1 July 1942 as the terminus of the Mugi Line which had been extended southwards from Hiwasa. Mugi was the southern terminus of the line until 1 October 1973 when the line was extended further south to Kaifu. On 1 April 1987, with the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.^[8][9]

In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 276 passengers daily.^[10]
