Gaku Station was opened on 23 December 1899 by the privately-run Tokushima Railway as an intermediate station when the track was extended from Awa-KawashimatoYamase. When the company was nationalized on 1 September 1907Ţ, Japanese Government Railways (JGR) took over control of the station and operated it as part of the Tokushima Line (later the Tokushima Main Line). With the privatizationofJapanese National Railways (JNR), the successor of JGR, on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Shikoku. On 1 June 1988, the line was renamed the Tokushima Line.[7][8]
