Gomen Station opened on 5 December 1925 as an intermediate stop when the then-named Kōchi Line (today the Dosan Line) was extended eastwards from Kōchi towards Tosa-Yamada by Japanese Government Railways. The privately operated Tosa Electric Railway Aki Line ran a separate Gomen stop nearby from 1926 until 1 April 1974, when that line was abolished to free its alignment for the planned Asa Line. Following the 1 April 1987 privatisation, JR Shikoku took over the station, which has its line code "D40". A new elevated, bridge-type station building was completed on 25 April 2001 in preparation for the 1 July 2002 opening of the third-sector Tosa Kuroshio Railway Asa Line, of which Gomen is the official western terminus. Limited expresses Nanpū, Shimanto and Ashizuri all stop here.

The station mascot "Gomen Ekio-kun" was designed by Yanase Takashi, the creator of Anpanman; a song he wrote about the station, "Gomen Eki de Gomen", plays on the double meaning of the station's name and the Japanese word for "sorry".
