Yoshikawa Station opened on 1 July 2002 as an intermediate stop on the Tosa Kuroshio Railway's Asa Line between Gomen and Nahari, in the rural Yoshikawa district of Kōnan, Kōchi Prefecture. The station consists of a single elevated side platform with no station building, only a covered shelter and an additional waiting room under the elevated track. Rapid services on the Asa Line, which originally made limited stops here, now pass through; only local trains call. Like every Asa Line station, it carries a cartoon mascot designed by Kōchi-born cartoonist Takashi Yanase — at Yoshikawa, an eel character named Yoshikawa Unao, chosen because eels were a noted local product.

The station was originally to be called "吉川駅" (Yoshikawa) in kanji, but the name was rendered in hiragana to distinguish it from another Yoshikawa Station on the JR East Musashino Line in Saitama.
