History

Minami Shinji Station opened on 1 January 1962 on the Japanese National Railways Kisuki Line, between Shinji and Kamo-naka in what is now the city of Matsue, Shimane Prefecture. From the outset it served only diesel rail-car passenger trains and had no staff. The station passed to JR West on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of JNR, and from the 13 March 2021 timetable revision every scheduled train calls. The single side platform sits on a 10‰ gradient on the right-hand side facing Bingo-Ochiai, well above the surrounding roads; there is no station building and passengers reach the platform directly via an entrance at the Bingo-Ochiai end.

Notes

The platform sits on a continuous 10-per-mille gradient — the timetable lists Minami Shinji as a flag stop where every modern Kisuki Line train pauses on a slope.
