History

Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened the station on 14 December 1939 with the name Akagawachi (赤河内, Akagawachi). It was set up as intermediate station when the track of the Mugi Line was being extended from Awa-Fukui to Hiwasa. The station was renamed Kitagawachi on 1 October 1959. On 1 April 1987, with the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, JR Shikoku took over control of the station.[6][7]
