==History== Sakaide Station opened on 21 February 1897 as a station on the Sanuki Railway when the section between Takamatsu and Marugame opened. In 1904 the line became part of the Sanyo Railway, which was nationalized in 1906. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.
