History
Kotō Station was opened on 3 December 1900 as Funaki Station (船木駅) on the San'yō Railway when the line was extended from Mitajiri (present-day Hōfu Station) to Asa Station. The San'yō Railway was railway nationalized in 1906 and the line became the San'yō Main Line in 1909. The station name was changed on 1 November 1916. With the privatization of the Japan National Railway (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan Railway Company (JR West).
