Lines
Shishikui Station is served by the Asatō Line and is located 7.6 km from the terminus of the line at Awa-Kainan.[3] Only local trains stop at the station.[4]
Layout
The station consists of a side platform serving an elevated track. An unused siding runs alongside but is not connected to the main track. The station building within the elevated structure houses a waiting area and a ticket window. This also doubles as a travel centre and acts as an agent for various types of travel tickets including those for JR Shikoku. The platform has a small shelter for waiting passengers and can be accessed by steps or an elevator. Car and bicycle parking is available and bike rentals are offered.[2][5][6]
Just south of the station, a siding branches off the track and leads to the depot of the Asa Kaigan railway.[6]
