The "Kujira Dome" covering Kōchi Station

Since the completion of the new station building and platforms on February 26, 2008, Kōchi Station has become a raised station with two island platforms served by four tracks.

The new roof covering the station is affectionately referred to as the Kujira Dome (くじらドーム, lit. "Whale Dome"). It received the Landmark Prize at the seventh annual Japanese Railway Awards held by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.
