History
Monju-dōri Station opened on 15 October 1910 with Tosa Electric Railway's (土佐電気鉄道) extension of the future Gomen Line from Kazurashimabashi-nishizume to Kako. On 18 October 1999 a turnout was installed and the stop was moved to its present site; turn-back test runs followed. From 12 September 2000 the city-line short-working terminus that had previously been Chiyorichō was moved here, only to be moved on again four years later to Ryōseki-dōri. The stop passed to Tosaden Kōtsū on 1 October 2014 with the operator merger. The two platforms are arranged opposite each other across the tracks — Gomenmachi-bound on the north, Harimaya-bashi-bound on the south, with a toilet on the western end of the south platform.

Notes
The Monju in the stop name comes from Bodhisattva Mañjuśrī, the principal image enshrined at the nearby Chikurin-ji temple. The kanji 文殊 (the standard spelling of the bodhisattva's name) is sometimes used in error — the official station name uses 文珠.
