• Dosan Line: Kakumodani ⇄ Shingai

Shigetō Station opened on 21 June 1930 as Amatsubo Station (天坪駅) when the then-Kōchi Line was extended north from Tosa-Yamada to Kakumodani. It was renamed Shigetō on 1 October 1963 following a change to the small-place-name for the surrounding land in 1958. The station was destaffed on 1 October 1970, with simple-commission ticket sales lasting until spring 2009. On 5 July 1972 the Shigetō Disaster — a landslide on the hillside above the station, triggered by torrential rain — destroyed part of the station and nearby houses, killing 60 people and closing the Dosan Line for 23 days. With the 1 April 1987 privatisation of JNR the station passed to JR Shikoku; it carries number D35.

At 347 m above sea level, Shigetō is the highest passenger station in the entire JR Shikoku network — the Dosan Line drops sharply from here toward Kōchi.
