Lines
editThe station is served by JR Shikoku's Yodo Line, and is 42.7 kilometers from the starting point of then line at Wakai.[3]
Layout
editThe station consists of an island platform serving two tracks. A paved concrete path leads from the platform across one track to a station building which serves as a waiting room. There was originally a JR Shikoku operated ticket counter but this was closed in 2010.[4] Subsequently, Ekawasaki became a Kan'i itaku station. A tourist information centre with a restaurant and shop is located next to the station building. Nearby is a bike shed. Parking for cars is available on the forecourt of the station.[1][5][6]
