Sanuki-Fuchū Station is served by the JR Shikoku Yosan Line and is located 14.2 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Only local services stop at the station. In addition, although Tadotsu is the official start of the Dosan Line, some of its local trains start from and return to Takamatsu. These trains also stop at Sanuki-Fuchū.[4]
The station, which is unstaffed, consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks on an embankment. There is no station building but weather shelters are provided on both platforms for waiting passengers. Flights of steps lead up to each platform from ground level. Access to the opposite platform is by means of a pedestrian tunnel under the embankment. A designated parking space for bicycles is provided near the station.[2][3][5]
