Umenotsuji Station opened on 2 May 1904 — the day Tosa Electric Railway started Kōchi's streetcars — as the northern terminus of the Ushioe Line, one of the two original lines (Honmachi and Ushioe). On 6 April 1906 the section north of here to Horizume opened, the Ushioe Line was renamed the Sanbashi Line, and this stop became intermediate. The original route to Horizume ran north over the Ushioe Bridge, then west along the Kagami River embankment, then north again — that dogleg was abandoned on 10 August 1928 when a new direct line from Harimaya-bashi south to Umenotsuji opened. The stop was relocated on 16 January 1943, and passed to Tosaden Kōtsū on 1 October 2014 with the operator merger. The two platforms straddle the intersection diagonally — Sanbashi-bound on the north, Kōchi Station-bound on the south.

The original route from here to Horizume was a crooked one — north across the Kagami River on the Ushioe Bridge, then west along the river embankment, then north again. It survived until 1928, when the new line running south from Harimaya-bashi retired it.
