is a passenger railway station located in the city of Sanuki, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "T14".[1]
The station is served by the JR Shikoku Kōtoku Line and is located 30.4 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu. Only local services stop at the station.[2]
Tsuruwa Station consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks. There is no station building, but each platform has a weather shelter for waiting passengers. There is no direct link between the platforms. A road level crossing at one end of the platforms is used to cross the tracks. On either side of the level crossing, separate ramps lead up to each platform. A bike shed is provided next to the tracks.[3] [4] [5]
Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened Tsuruwa Station on 1 October 1961 as an added stop on the existing Kōtoku Line. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, JR Shikoku assumed control and the stop was upgraded to a full station.
