Location

History

Uminoōmukae Station opened on 22 April 2003 as a new stop on the Tosa Kuroshio Railway Nakamura Line, added between Tosa-Kamikawaguchi and Ukibuchi. The station consists of a single narrow side platform on a hillside above an adjacent secondary road, with no station building, only a waiting shelter on the platform itself reached by a wheelchair-accessible ramp from a small car park and bicycle shed at the foot of the hill. Located in the town of Kuroshio in Hata District, Kōchi Prefecture, only local trains stop here, and in fiscal 2011 the station averaged about two passengers a day.

Notes

The unusual name "Uminoōmukae" (Greeting the Prince at the Sea) refers to the local tradition that Prince Takanaga, son of Emperor Go-Daigo, was received here when he was exiled to the region during the Genkō Incident in the Kamakura period.
