Timetable data as of 26 April 2026.

The timetable data is incomplete for some or all lines at this station, so the weekday and Sat & holiday figures are departures in the available timetable data, not totals.

Lines where the timetable data is incomplete:

• Tosaden Kotsu Gomen Line: only trains from timetables filed under other lines

• Tosaden Kotsu Gomen Line: Funato (Kochi) ⇄ Tabeshima-dori

Kako Station opened on 15 October 1910 as the temporary eastern terminus of the future Gomen Line, when Tosa Electric Railway (土佐電気鉄道) extended the line from Kazurashimabashi-nishizume to here. Seven weeks later, on 4 December, the rails were pushed on to Ōtsu (since abolished — see Ryōseki-dōri). The stop was suspended on 16 January 1943 and reopened on 22 February 1949; some sources give the official reopening as 23 August 1951. A platform was added to the northbound (Gomenmachi-bound) side in 1997. The stop passed to Tosaden Kōtsū on 1 October 2014 with the operator merger. The two platforms straddle the tracks; the northbound safety island dates from 1997.

The place-name Kako appears in the 10th-century Tosa Diary; it was originally written 水夫 ("sailor"). Kako Shrine stands between this stop and the neighbouring Tanabejima-dōri stop — the Gomen Line tracks pass directly in front of its torii gate.
