History
Chiyorichō-itchōme Station was licensed for opening on 19 September 1928 as Sanjō-dōri (三条通停留場) by Tosa Electric Railway (土佐電気, predecessor). It took the present name Chiyorichō-itchōme on 1 February 1938. On 1 March 2009 the two platforms were swapped to the far side of the intersection as part of a road project that added a right-turn lane on the National Route 32. The stop passed to Tosaden Kōtsū on 1 October 2014 with the operator merger.

Notes
The stop is the closest tram stop to Chikyū 33-banchi ("Earth Point 33"), the patch of pavement at the precise coordinates 33°33′33″ N, 133°33′33″ E — a minor tourist attraction in Kōchi City marked by a small monument and a guidebook entry as the planet's only point where six digits of latitude and longitude align as 33333.
