History

The station opened on 20 December 1932 as the terminus of the then Kōchi Line which had been extended northwards from Template:STN. At this time the station was operated by Japanese Government Railways, later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[3][6] The original station building burnt down on 2 January 2004. A new building was constructed and opened on 12 March 2005. Students from a local junior high school participated in the design and construction of the new building.[7][8][9]
