History
Kagamigawabashi Station opened on 9 October 1906 as the western terminus of the Ino Line, when Tosa Electric Railway extended the line west from Noridashi. The line was pushed on west to Kōnai the following year (16 September 1907), making the stop intermediate. The Kagamigawabashi sub-station opened on 21 April 1956. Doubling progressed up the Ino Line from the eastern end through the 1950s; the section from Hotarubashi to this stop became double track on 1 October 1958, and at that point the short-working turnback that had been at Hotarubashi moved here. From the days of the Aki Line, through trams ran between this stop and Aki Station. Barrier-free improvements completed in August 2010. The stop passed to Tosaden Kōtsū on 1 October 2014 with the operator merger. The stop is the boundary between double and single track on the Ino Line, and a station master is based here.

Notes
From this stop east, the Ino Line is double-track all the way back to central Kōchi; west of here, the line is single track all the way to the terminus at Inoeki-mae. Many city-line short workings turn back here, and Kagamigawabashi is one of the very few Tosaden stops with a station master on duty.
