Tano Station opened on 1 July 2002 as a station on the newly inaugurated Tosa Kuroshio Railway Gomen-Nahari Line (Asa Line), in Tano, Aki District, Kōchi Prefecture — station number GN22. The original tentative name was 'Tosa Tano Station', and it was originally to have been built about 200 metres closer to Nahari than its present site. On 16 March 2019 a lift was installed on the Aki-bound platform and brought into service; from the same date Nahari-bound trains, with the exception of two early-morning services, also began stopping at the original Aki-bound platform (Platform 1).

Tano is one of the few Asa Line crossing stations that is not single-line-through; uniquely it uses No. 8 turnouts (rather than the usual No. 10) and is subject to a 40 km/h restriction. The waiting shelter on the north platform is also the only one without an enclosed door among the line's stations with two opposed side platforms. The Asa Line stations each have a cartoon mascot designed by Takashi Yanase, and Tano's is a samurai-styled 'Tano Ishin-kun' inspired by the twenty-three shishi of the Tosa Kinnōtō; the original draft mascot 'Tano Sugio-kun' (modelled on a cedar) was changed at local mayors' request.
