Anan Station is served by the Mugi Line and is located 24.5 km from the beginning of the line at Tokushima.[3] Besides the local trains on the Mugi Line, the Muroto limited express service between Mugi and Tokushima stops at the station. The Home Express Anan, a one-way only evening limited express service from Tokushima terminates at Anan.[4]
The station consists of 2 side platforms serving two tracks. A siding and a passing loop branch off track 2 and run on the other side of platform 2. The present station building, completed in 2003[5] is a hashigami (橋上) structure where passenger facilities are located on a bridge which spans the tracks.
The main station entrance is on the west side of the tracks from where elevators and escalators lead to the bridge structure on level 2 which houses ticket gates, a waiting area, a JR ticket window (without a Midori no Madoguchi facility)[6] and a JR travel centre (Warp Plaza). From the bridge, separate escalators and elevators connect to both platforms.
On level 1 near the main entrance on the west side are toilets and tenantable shop space. A large designated parking area for bicycles is located nearby.
On the east side of the tracks, the hashigami bridge structure also connects to a neighbouring building as well as a second station entrance from road. Another bicycle parking area and parking lots for cars are available near this entrance.[2][3][7][8]

Anan Station was opened on 27 March 1936 by Japanese Government Railways (JGR) under the name Awa-Tomioka (阿波富岡, Awa-Tomioka). It was an intermediate station during the first phase of the construction of the Mugi Line when a track was built from Hanoura to Kuwano. On 1 November 1966, the name of the station was changed to Anan. On 1 April 1987, with the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, JR Shikoku took over control of the Station.[9][10]
In November 2003, the present station building, incorporating a hashigami design, was completed and opened.[5][11]
In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 1614 passengers daily[12]
