History
Script error: No such module "Nihongo". opened on 28 November 1935, and was converted to a passenger station on 1 June 1947. In preparation for the US invasion of the Japanese home islands, the area around Shinkai Signalbox was designated as a key point for the line of communication and was made into a military fortress. As the mountainous area was deemed a natural fortress, important facilities such as the Shikoku Military District Headquarters were temporarily established here. During the brief period until the end of the war, Shinkai Signalbox unexpectedly became the center of Kōchi prefecture.
The station name in hiragana was changed from Script error: No such module "Nihongo". to Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., with no change of kanji script, on 15 December 1956.[3] With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Shikoku.
