History
editThe station opened on 30 March 1924 when the then Kōchi Line (later renamed the Dosan Line) was constructed from here eastwards towardsKusaka.At the time of it opening, Susaki was operatedJapanese Government Railways,later becomingJapanese National Railways(JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[3][8]A plate on the station building declares that Susaki is "Point Zero" on the Dosan Line, though this is incorrect. Susaki was the first station to be built inKōchi PrefecturebutTadotsuinKagawa Prefecturewas built in 1899 and the stretch of track from there toSanuki-Saidawas completed by 1923 and this would later also be part of the Dosan Line.[5]
