History

Takase Station opened on 20 December 1913 as an intermediate stop when the track of the then Sanuki Line was extended westwards from Tadotsu to Kan'onji. At that time the station was named Kamitakase Station (上高瀬駅, Kamitakase-eki) and was operated by Japanese Government Railways, later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). The station was renamed Takase Station on 1 October 1959. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[7][8]
