Hazama Station (K19) is situated in Hazama, Mannō-cho, Nakatado-gun, Kagawa Prefecture. Notably, at an elevation of 88.9 meters, it holds the distinction of being the highest station on the Kotoden network. For a long time, it was the sole railway station in the former Mannō Town, despite the JR Dosan Line also passing through the area without a station.

The station serves the Kotoden Kotohira Line, a vital railway connecting Takamatsu-Chikkō Station in Takamatsu with Kotoden-Kotohira Station in Kotohira. This line, characterized by its yellow color, is owned and operated by the Takamatsu-Kotohira Electric Railroad. The Kotohira Line spans 32.9 km (20.4 mi) with 22 stations, featuring a single track for most of its length, with a double track section between Takamatsu-Chikkō and Ritsurin-Kōen.
Travel Tips
As the highest station on the Kotoden line, Hazama offers unique views of the surrounding landscape. While the immediate area might be quieter, its connection to the Kotohira Line provides easy access to the popular Konpira-san Shrine in Kotohira and the bustling city of Takamatsu. Consider this station as a gateway to exploring the scenic beauty and cultural attractions of Kagawa Prefecture.
