Location
History
Susaki Station opened on 30 March 1924 as the starting point of construction works on what was then the Kōchi Line — later renamed the Dosan Line — with materials landed at Susaki Port for the eastward construction of the line. The station was originally operated by Japanese Government Railways and then Japanese National Railways, passing to JR Shikoku at privatisation on 1 April 1987. The Midori no Madoguchi ticket office closed on 31 January 2022, replaced by a Midori no Kenbai-ki Plus machine introduced from October 2021. In December 2021, the station building was extensively renovated in a British style to mark Susaki as the birthplace of railways in Kōchi Prefecture, funded by a donation of about 70 million yen from Kōchi Shinkin Bank.
Notes
In front of the station, a driving wheel from a D51 locomotive is preserved to commemorate the birthplace of the Dosan Line.
