History
Akebonochō-higashimachi Station opened on 12 July 1956 as a Tosa Electric Railway infill stop on the Ino Line — the surrounding Kagamigawabashi–Kōnai section dates to 1907, so the stop arrived nearly fifty years later. In the January 2007 fare revision, the stop was set as the western edge of 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 is too narrow for safety-island platforms; boarding is on painted white lines on the road surface.

Notes
Akebonochō-higashimachi is the western edge of the Kōchi flat-fare zone — board west of here on the Ino Line and the fare ticks up by zone; board here or east and any in-town journey is at the flat city rate.
