Japanese Government Railways (JGR) opened Kiki Station on 14 December 1939 as an intermediate station when the track of the Mugi Line was extended from Awa-Fukui to Hiwasa. On 1 April 1987, with the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, JR Shikoku took over control of the station.[6][7]
Kiki is a settlement centered on the fishing industry, and private houses are gathered on the narrow flat land at the mouth of the Kiki River.
