Location

History

Age Station opened on 1 July 1932 with the Chita Railway, in Taketoyo Town, Aichi Prefecture, and joined Meitetsu through the railway's absorption on 1 February 1943. Staffing was withdrawn on 1 October 1949, restored under a Meitetsu Sangyō contract operation, then withdrawn again on 16 August 1970. Platform length was extended to six cars in 1980. Tranpass entered service on 14 March 2007 together with new station buildings on both platforms, and IC card travel using manaca began on 11 February 2011 ahead of Tranpass's withdrawal in February 2012. The 2024 timetable revision of 16 March added Rapid Express, Express and Semi-Express stops here.

Notes

The name probably derives from the surrounding district of Age, with various local accounts linking it either to a settlement that looked up to the nearby Nagao Castle or to the prestige of the Takeo Shrine within the district.
