History

Kamimachi-itchōme Station opened on 9 October 1906 as Honchō-suji-itchōme (本町筋一丁目停留場), a Tosa Electric Railway stop on what is now the Ino Line. The kanji was changed to 本丁筋一丁目 on 1 August 1936, the stop was suspended on 29 July 1942, and it reopened on 1 July 1952. It took its present name Kamimachi-itchōme on 10 August 1966 in step with a city-wide address reform. The stop was at one point earmarked for closure, but kept open because the location is the birthplace of Sakamoto Ryōma and is near Kōchi Prefectural School for the Blind. It carries the secondary name "Sakamoto Ryōma Birthplace Front." The stop passed to Tosaden Kōtsū on 1 October 2014 with the operator merger.

Notes

Sakamoto Ryōma was born in Kamimachi, into a branch of the Saitani-ya merchant house — one of the large stores that once lined the old highway along which the Ino Line's tracks now run. The proposal to close this stop was dropped because the surrounding district is Ryōma's birthplace, and the stop now carries the secondary name "Sakamoto Ryōma Birthplace Front."
