History
Tosa-Saga Station opened on 18 December 1963 as the southern terminus of a new Japanese National Railways line extended from Kubokawa. It became a through-station on 1 October 1970 when the Nakamura Line was extended south to Nakamura, and on the same date its ticketing was outsourced as a kan'i itaku station while car-load freight and most parcel services were withdrawn. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station briefly passed to JR Shikoku, and on 1 April 1988 the Nakamura Line was transferred to the third-sector operator Tosa Kuroshio Railway, which still runs the station today. The kan'i itaku arrangement was ended on 1 April 2004, leaving the station fully unstaffed.
