On 12 January 1931, an inbound express train passing Kōchi Station derailed at a turnout. The locomotive (C53 24) overturned, and the five passenger cars fell from the Mukunashi River Bridge in front of the station into the river, killing seven people and injuring 179 people.[citation needed]
With the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.
