Kakumodani Station opened on 21 June 1930 as the new terminus of the Kōchi Line, when Japanese Government Railways extended the route northwards from Tosa-Yamada. It served as the terminus only briefly: on 19 December 1932 the track was pushed further on, and the station became a through stop. Freight delivery handling was withdrawn on 1 October 1969, small-lot freight on 1 June 1970, and on 1 October 1970 the station was unstaffed entirely while parcel handling was restricted to inbound newspapers under a contracted-agent arrangement. At the JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR Shikoku. The former station building site is now occupied by the Tentsubo Fureai rest house, which effectively serves as the waiting room.

Because only a single car-length of platform has been raised to modern height, conductor-staffed two-car trains stopping at Kakumodani run a door-cut, opening doors on just one car.
