History[]

The station opened on 5 December 1925 as the terminus of the then Kochi Line when it was extended northwards from Kōchi. It became a through station on 21 June 1930 when the line was further extended to Kakumodani. At that time the station was operated by Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[3][6]
