History
Kan'onji Station opened on 20 December 1913 as the terminus of the then Sanuki Line which had been extended westwards from Tadotsu. It became a through-station on 1 April 1916 when the line was further extended to Kawanoe. At that time the station was operated by Japanese Government Railways, later becoming Japanese National Railways (JNR). With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.
