Lines
Hiketa Station is served by the JR Shikoku Kōtoku Line and is located 45.1 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Besides local services, the Uzushio limited express between Template:STN, Template:STN and Template:STN also stops at the station.[4]
Layout
The station consists of a side platform and an island platform serving three tracks. A station building houses a waiting room and a cafe. A JR ticket window (without a Midori no Madoguchi facility) is available but open for limited hours only.[5] Access to the island platform is by means of a footbridge. A siding runs on the far side of the island platform beyond track 3. Another siding branches off track 1 and ends at a disused freight platform. Parking is available on the station forecourt.[2][3][6]

History
Hiketa Station was opened on 15 April 1928 as the terminus of the Kōtoku Line when the track was extended eastwards from Template:STN. It became a through station on 20 March 1935 when the line was extended further east to link up with other tracks to establish a through-service to Template:STN. 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]
