History

The section between Kawaramachi and this station on the Kotohira Line was fully opened at the end of 1948 after the war as a substitute route for the city line that was abolished due to the damage caused by the air raids on Takamatsu. Before that, this site was the moat of Takamatsu Castle, and the moat, which is now adjacent to Platform 1, continued to the site of this station. Takamatsu-Chikkō Station opened on December 26, 1948 as Chikkō Station. It was treated as a temporary station until the current station was completed. On January 1, 1954, the name was changed to Takamatsu-Chikkō Station. It was relocated 210 meters north of its original location on September 10, 1955. In 2000 the station building was reconstructed.
