History
Kenritsubijutsukan-dōri Station opened on 1 November 1993 as an infill stop on the Gomen Line, two days before the Kōchi Prefectural Museum of Art opened on 3 November. A platform on the Gomenmachi-bound side was added in 1999, and the entire stop was built to barrier-free standards — ramps on both platforms, folding benches placed out of the walking line. The stop passed to Tosaden Kōtsū on 1 October 2014 with the operator merger. A park-and-ride lot adjoins the stop, expanded in January 2006 to handle commuters from the Route 195/Route 32 corridor.

Notes
The stop opened two days ahead of the Kōchi Prefectural Museum of Art (高知県立美術館) on 1 November 1993, ready for the museum's grand opening on the 3rd — and was designed barrier-free from the start, more than a decade before that became routine in Japan.
