Location
History
Gomenmachi is a paired tram and railway station in Nankoku, Kōchi Prefecture. The tram stop opened on 21 February 1925 as Gomenmachi-ekimae, in front of the station the Kōchi Railway had opened on 8 December 1924 as Gomen and renamed Gomenmachi in April 1926. In 1941 Kōchi Railway took over the transport business of Tosa Denki and renamed itself Tosa Kōtsū, which in 1948 became Tosa Electric Railway. Its Aki Line was abandoned to make way for the planned national Asa-nishi Line, and that line's Gomenmachi station closed on 1 April 1974. The tram stop was renamed Gomenmachi on 26 July 1974 and moved to its present location. The current Tosa Kuroshio Railway station opened on 1 July 2002 as an intermediate stop on the new Asa Line, with station number GN39.
Notes
The Tosa Kuroshio Railway station has carried the secondary nickname "Arigatō Station" since 2004. It was proposed by the manga artist Takashi Yanase, who spent his childhood in Gomenmachi and designed the Gomen–Nahari Line's mascot characters: the station's name was easily confused with that of nearby Gomen Station, and Yanase suggested that answering Gomen ("sorry") with Arigatō ("thank you") would sound better.
