Tosa-Ōtsu Station (土佐大津駅, Tosa-Ōtsu-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Kōchi, Kōchi Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "D41".[1][2]
Lines
[edit]The station is served by the JR Shikoku Dosan Line and is located 119.4 km from the beginning of the line at Tadotsu.[3][4]
Although Gomen is the official western terminus of the third-sector Tosa Kuroshio Railway Asa Line (also known as the Gomen-Nahari Line), all of its rapid and some local trains continue towards Kōchi on the Dosan Line tracks with Tosa-Ōtsu as one of their intermediate stops.[5]
Layout
[edit]Tosa-Ōtsu Station, which is unstaffed, consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks. A small building linked to one of the platforms serves as a waiting room. An overhead footbridge connects to the other platform. Weather shelters are provided on both platforms.[2]

History
[edit]The station opened on 5 December 1925 as an intermediate stop when the then Kōchi Line (now Dosan Line) was extended from Kōchi eastwards and then northwards towards Tosa-Yamada. At that time the station was operated by Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[3][6]
