Lines




JR Shikoku railway network


JR Shikoku operates a railway system of 855.2 km. In 1988 JR Shikoku, unlike other JR companies, discontinued the classification of certain its lines as either main or other. Prior to the change, the Dosan, Kōtoku, Tokushima, and Yosan Lines had all been Main Lines.


Each line is color-coded and labeled with a letter, in conjunction with which a number is assigned to each station on the line. For example, Naruto Station on the Naruto Line (labeled N) is numbered N10. Although this method is now widely used in by rail, especially metro, systems in Japan, JR Shikoku was the first JR company to adopt it.
