Kōchijō-mae Station (高知城前停留場, Kōchijō-mae-teiryujō) is a tram station in Kōchi, Kōchi Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by Tosaden Kōtsū.

History

The station first opened in 1904 as Keisatsu-mae Station (警察前停留場).[1] In 1950, it was again renamed to Kōen-tōri Station. Because many passengers looking to visit Kōchi Castle would disembark at the adjacent Kenchō-mae Station instead, Kōen-tōri Station was renamed to Kōchijō-mae Station (lit. 'In front of Kōchi Castle') in 1978 to better guide passengers.[2]
