• Shido Line: Kotodenyashima ⇄ Kasugagawa

Katamoto Station opened on 16 March 1931 on the Shikoku Hydroelectric Company line, succeeding the earlier Nishi-Katamoto stop. It passed to Sanuki Electric Railway in 1942 and to Takamatsu-Kotohira Electric Railroad (Kotoden) the following year, when wartime consolidation merged the regional operators. The station serves Kotoden's Shido Line as S05, lying 4.3 km from the line's terminus at Kawaramachi. A single side platform handles bi-directional traffic, and the station was destaffed from 1 April 2020. Among Shido Line stops, Katamoto records the second-highest passenger volume after Kawaramachi.

Although destaffed in 2020, Katamoto remains a designated mid-trip alight station and ranks second only to Kawaramachi for ridership on the Kotoden Shido Line.
