• Dosan Line: Azono ⇄ Iriake

Kōchi Station opened on 15 November 1924 as an extension of the Kōchi Line from Kusaka. Located in the centre of Kōchi City, it became part of the renamed Dosan Line in November 1935. The Tosaden tram stop in front of the station opened in February 1928. A second station building was completed in April 1971, and following national railway privatisation on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Shikoku. Elevation works began in 2004, culminating on 26 February 2008 with a new raised station designed by architect Hiroshi Naitō. The roof, an arched wooden dome nicknamed "Kujira Dome", uses Kōchi-grown cedar clad externally in titanium-zinc alloy.

When the third station building opened in 2008, announcements made as trains approach began playing the "Anpanman March" as background music.
