Hashikura Station is served by the JR Shikoku Dosan Line and is located 35.4 km (22.0 mi) from the beginning of the line at Tadotsu.^[3] Only local trains stop at the station.^[4]

The station consists of two side platforms serving two tracks. An unstaffed station building connected to one of the side platforms serves as a waiting room. An overhead footbridge gives access to the other platform.^[2][5]

The station opened on 28 April 1929 when the line was extended from Sanuki-Saida southwards to Tsukuda Signal Station (now Tsukuda), thus linking up with the track of the Tokushima Line and providing service to Awa-Ikeda. At this time the line was known as the Sanyo Line and was operated by Japanese Government Railways (JGR) which was later corporatised as Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.^[3][6]
