• Gomen-Nahari Line: Tateda ⇄ Yoshikawa (Kochi)

Noichi Station opened on 1 July 2002 as an intermediate stop on the new Asa Line of the third-sector Tosa Kuroshio Railway, running between Gomen and Nahari in Kōchi Prefecture. The station serves Kōnan City and is the line's busiest non-terminal stop, with all trains — rapid and local — calling there. The station building, built into the elevated structure beneath the tracks, houses a waiting area and a small shop operated by the Kōan Tourist Association which handles tickets on a kan'i itaku basis. The station carries number GN37 and is fitted with elevators and barrier-free access on both sides. Its working title during planning was Noichi (野市) in kanji; the present hiragana form was adopted at opening.

On the route between Noichi and the next station, the line dives under a large highway embankment that was originally built so National Route 55 could overpass the now-vanished Tosa Electric Railway Geibi Line — a relic engineered for a railway that closed in 1974 still shapes how the 2002 successor line negotiates the road.
