• Tosaden Kotsu Ino Line: Asakurajinja-mae ⇄ Asakura (Kochi)

Asakura-ekimae Station opened on 5 February 1925 — three months after the National Railways' (now JR Shikoku's) Asakura Station opened in November 1924 — as a tram stop in front of the new JR station. Tosa Electric Railway (then 土佐電気) installed the stop on the Ino Line; some sources record the original name as Asakura-ekimae-dōri. The stop passed to Tosaden Kōtsū on 1 October 2014 with the operator merger. The two platforms face each other across the single track. The road carrying the tracks between here and Kamobe is so narrow that no proper safety islands can be installed, and boarding is on painted white lines on the road.

Asakura-ekimae is the tram counterpart to JR Shikoku's Asakura Station — a Dosan Line stop notable for being the former JNR's first log-cabin station building (1986) and the nearest station to Kōchi University's Asakura Campus.
