History
Chiyorichō-sanchōme Station opened on 30 October 1909 as Kazurashimabashi-nishizume (葛島橋西詰), when Tosa Electric Railway extended the future Gomen Line east from Shimoji (now Hōeichō) to here — the stop was the eastern terminus at the time. Just under a year later, on 15 October 1910, the line was pushed on to Kako and the stop became intermediate. It was suspended on 29 July 1942 and reopened on 1 June 1944. The stop took its present name Chiyorichō-sanchōme on 20 December 1972. Some sources record an alternative naming history (Kazurashima-bashi-nishi-gan → Kazurashima-bashi → Kazurashima-nishi-zume on revival); the JA Wikipedia article notes the discrepancy. The stop passed to Tosaden Kōtsū on 1 October 2014 with the operator merger.

Notes
From here west the Gomen Line runs along the centre of the road as part of the in-town shared-track section; east of here it diverts onto its own private right-of-way.
