Sekigawa Station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 92.2 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Yosan line local, Rapid Sunport, and Nanpū Relay services stop at the station.[4]
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of a side platform serving a single track. There is no station building, only a shelter for waiting passengers. A ramp leads down to the platform from the access road which is at a higher level. A bike shed is located nearby. The station is located on a siding. A passing line runs parallel and is used by trains which do not stop at the station.[2][5][6][3]

Japanese National Railways (JNR) opened Sekigawa on 15 April 1961 as a new station on the existing Yosan Line. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[7][8]
The Seki River, which is the origin of the station name, flows slightly south from the station, and crossing the river leads to Japan National Route 11.
