History
The station opened on 30 March 1924 when the then Kōchi Line (later renamed the Dosan Line) was constructed from Susaki to Kusaka. 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][7]
On 4 March 2017, Sakawa town authorities opened a tourist information centre inside the station building using space offered by JR Shikoku. The centre, which is unstaffed, features a custom-built information terminal about Sakawa town, maps and brochures, educational displays as well as a model of a local historic building.[5][8]
