Eastbound local services end at Template:STN. Connections with other services are needed to travel further east of Matsuyama on the line.[4]
Layout
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of a side platform serving a single track. There is no station building, only a shelter on the platform for waiting passengers. Also present are the remnants of a disused island platform.[2][5][3]
History
The station opened on 14 February 1918. At that time, it was an intermediate station on the privately run 762 mm gauge Ehime Railway from Nagahama-machi (now Template:STN) to Ōzu (now Template:STN). When the company was nationalized on 1 October 1933, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) assumed control and operated the station as part of the Ehime Line. Subsequently, the track of the Ehime Line was regauged to 1,067 mm. A link with the Yosan Line was created between Template:STN and Template:STN. The stretch of Ehime Line track from Iyo-Nagahama to Iyo-Ōzu, including Gorō, was then incorporated into the Yosan Main Line on 6 October 1935. At the same time, the branch of Ehime Line from Gorō through Template:STN to Template:STN and later Template:STN became the Uchiko Line .Gorō became the official start point of this line.
On 3 March 1986, the Uchiko shortcut/branch of the Yosan Line from Template:STN through Template:STN to Template:STN and Template:STN was completed. The branch from Gorō to Niiya was then abolished and Gorō ceased to be part of the Uchiko Line.
With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Shikoku.[6][7]
