Tosa-Kitagawa Station

Tosa-Kitagawa Station (土佐北川駅) is a passenger railway station located in the town of Ōtoyo, Nagaoka District, Kōchi Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "D33".

Lines
The station is served by the JR Shikoku Dosan Line and is located 93.3 km from the beginning of the line at Tadotsu.

Layout
The station, which is unmanned, consists of a narrow island platform serving two tracks all mounted on an iron bridge spanning the Ananai River. From both the north and south ends of the bridge, stairs lead up to a pedestrian walkway along the length of the bridge which gives access to the platform. At an intermediate landing up the steps on the south side, a waiting room has been established.

History
The station opened on 1 October 1960 on the existing Dosan Line but at a different location further to the south. After track re-alignment works, the station was moved to its present location on 3 March 1986. At this time the station was operated by Japanese Government Railways, later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.
