Location

History

The stop opened on 2 May 1904 as Honmachi-Kami-Itchōme Stop with the inauguration of the Tosa Electric Railway Honmachi Line. It was later renamed Kenchō-mae (date unrecorded). On 1 October 2014, after Tosa Electric Railway merged with Kōchi Kenkō and Tosaden Dream Service to form Tosaden Kōtsū, the stop passed to the new operator.

Notes

Because Kōchi City Hall is also close by, the stop is sometimes announced as 'Kenchō / Shiyakusho-mae' (Prefectural Office / City Hall). The two platforms sit on the median strip and are offset east-west rather than facing each other, on the road interchange where Kōchi Castle's keep is visible to the south; before the next stop was renamed Kōchijō-mae in 1978, this was where many castle visitors alighted.
