History
Kitauchi tram stop opened on 10 January 2007 on the Tosaden Kōtsū Ino Line, built by predecessor Tosa Electric Railway at the request of Ino Town after the local "Sunny Axis Ino" shopping complex was announced. It was the operator's first new Ino-line tram stop since 1960, and the company's first new stop anywhere since Kōchibashi in 2000. The shopping complex itself opened on 25 February 2007. After Tosa Electric Railway merged with Kōchiken Kōtsū and Tosaden Dream Service on 1 October 2014, the stop became part of the new Tosaden Kōtsū network. The two single-track platforms sit at a slight diagonal across the line, with covered shelters and a roofed walkway built by Ino Town linking the stop to the shopping centre.

Notes
Built at a town request, Kitauchi was the first new tram stop on Tosa Electric Railway's Ino Line in 47 years when it opened in 2007, ending a long pause that stretched back to Kitayama tram stop in 1960.
