Kōchi Station (高知駅 Kōchi-eki?) is a railway station on the Dosan Line of the Shikoku Railway Company (JR Shikoku) located in the city center of Kōchi, Kōchi Prefecture, Japan.
In front of the station is Kōchi-Ekimae Station, a tram stop on the Tosaden Kōtsū Sanbashi Line.
Since the completion of the new station building and platforms on February 26, 2008, Kōchi Station has become a raised station with two platforms served by four tracks.
The new roof covering the station is affectionately referred to as the Kujira Dome (くじらドーム lit. "Whale Dome"?). It received the Landmark Prize at the seventh annual Japanese Railway Awards held by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
The station, one of the key stations of the Shikoku railway network, started operation on November 15, 1924.
