History
Wajiki Station opened on 1 July 2002 as an intermediate stop on the Tosa Kuroshio Railway's Asa Line between Gomen and Nahari. Located in the village of Geisei in Aki District, Kōchi Prefecture, it carries the number GN31 and is 18.2 kilometres from Gomen. All Asa Line trains, both rapid and local, call at the station. The elevated station has two opposed side platforms serving two tracks on a single-line-through layout (track 1 the main running line, track 2 the side line), with no station building — passengers reach the platforms directly from ground level and there is a separate waiting room with parking and a bike shed nearby. The site previously hosted a same-named station on the Tosa Electric Railway Aki Line, which was discontinued when that line closed on 1 April 1974.

Notes
The station mascot, designed by Kōchi-born cartoonist Takashi Yanase, is a kappa named Wajiki Kappa-kun, chosen because local folklore tells of the river-imp inhabiting the nearby Wajiki River.
