History
Kagami Station opened on 1 July 2002 as an intermediate stop on the Tosa Kuroshio Railway's Asa Line between Gomen and Nahari, in what is now the city of Kōnan, Kōchi Prefecture. Until the 10 March 2005 timetable revision a single daytime round trip of the rapid service stopped here, but from that revision onwards all rapid trains pass through and only local trains call. The station is built on the trackbed of the former Tosa Electric Railway Asa Line, which closed in 1974; that line had a separate Kishimoto station nearby, and "Kishimoto" was Kagami's provisional name during planning. The station mascot is a mandarin-headed character honouring the local Yamakita mikan.
