History
Kamobe Station opened on 16 September 1907 with the Ino Line extension from Kagamigawabashi to Kōnai. In a January 2007 fare revision the stop again came inside the Kōchi city flat-fare zone. The stop passed to Tosaden Kōtsū on 1 October 2014 with the operator merger. The road carrying the tracks here is just one lane wide, so safety-island platforms cannot be installed — boarding is on white lines painted on the road itself, and only on the Ino-bound side; on the Harimaya-bashi-bound side passengers board from the road shoulder because the tracks are pushed up against the road's north edge.

Notes
From Kamobe west almost to Asakura-ekimae the tracks shift to the very northern edge of the narrow road, leaving no room for a safety island even by Tosaden's modest standards — and the Harimaya-bashi-bound boarding position is just the road shoulder itself.
