• Dosan Line: Omurajinjamae ⇄ Okabana

Kusaka Station opened on 30 March 1924 as the eastern terminus of the then Kōchi Line — later renamed the Dosan Line — when Japanese Government Railways extended track east from Susaki. On 15 November 1924 the line was further extended to Kōchi and Kusaka became a through station. Privatisation transferred it to JR Shikoku on 1 April 1987. The station consists of two opposed side platforms serving two tracks, with the wooden station building linked to platform 1 acting as an unstaffed waiting room. Hidaka village took ownership of the building on 1 October 2022 and completed a seismic retrofit in March 2024, repurposing it with a tourist-information space.

The wooden station building is designed to evoke an Edo-period sekisho — a checkpoint gatehouse — fitting for a stop named "Kusaka" in a quiet rural valley.
