History
Hara opened on 18 November 1911 as a station on the Tōsan Electric Tramway. It passed to Shikoku Suiryoku Denki by merger on 25 December 1916, to Sanuki Dentetsu by transfer on 30 April 1942, and on 1 November 1943 to the Takamatsu-Kotohira Electric Railroad (Kotoden) as a station on the Shido Line. The Yakuri–Kotoden-Shido section, which includes this station, was suspended on 26 January 1945 as a non-essential wartime line and reopened on 9 October 1949.

Notes
The single-platform station has electronic approach signs that light up the moment a train departs an upstream station — "Next train has left Kotoden-Shido" for trains from Shido and "Next train has left Fusazaki" for trains from Kawaramachi.
