History
Ōhashidōri Station is one of the original stops on the Tosaden Kōtsū network, opening on 2 May 1904 with Tosa Electric Railway's first day of operation between Horizume and Noridashi on what was then called the Honmachi Line (本町線, now the Ino Line). It was originally called Honmachi-shimo-nichōme (本町下二丁停留場) and was renamed Ōhashidōri sometime before 1949. On 2 April 2010 the two platforms were swapped to the far side of the intersection and brought up to barrier-free standard. The stop passed to Tosaden Kōtsū on 1 October 2014 with the operator merger.

Notes
The Ōhashidōri shopping arcade alongside the stop — called "Kōchi's kitchen" by locals — joins the neighbouring Obi-yamachi, Obi-san-rōdo, Tenjinbashi-dōri, and Harimayabashi arcades to form one of Shikoku's largest covered-shopping-street networks. The street itself takes its name from the Tenjin-ōhashi bridge that crosses the Kagami River to the south.
