Location

History

Noichi Station opened on 1 July 2002 as an intermediate stop on the new Asa Line of the third-sector Tosa Kuroshio Railway, running between Gomen and Nahari in Kōchi Prefecture. It is the principal station for Kōnan City, and all trains — rapid and local — call there. The station building, built into the elevated structure beneath the tracks, houses a waiting area and a small shop operated by the Kōnan City Tourism Association, which handles tickets on a kan'i itaku basis. The station carries number GN37 and is fitted with elevators serving the platforms. Its working title during planning was Noichi (野市) in kanji; the present hiragana form was adopted at opening.

Notes

On the stretch between Noichi and Yoshikawa the line drops to ground level to pass under a large embankment carrying National Route 55 — an embankment originally built so that the road could bridge the Tosa Electric Railway's Aki Line, long since closed. A structure engineered for a vanished railway still shapes how its 2002 successor negotiates the road.
