History
Shiyakusho-mae Station opened on 30 August 1967 on the Kishū Railway Line, set close to Gobō City Hall. It is a one-platform halt with no station building or toilet, only a shelter, a public phone and vending machines. For many years a withdrawn KiHa 103 car body — originally built for the Tominan Railway, later passing through the Shingū Railway and JNR before arriving at the Gobō Rinkō Railway (today's Kishū Railway) in August 1943 — was used on site as a waiting room.

Notes
There was once a local revitalisation movement to rename the station 'Gōkaku-eki' ('Pass Station') — a play on the lucky reading 'gōkaku' (passing an exam) — mirroring the similar 'Gakumon-eki' nearby, though the campaign has now largely faded.
