Location
History
Atsuta Station opened in March 1886 as the terminus of the Japanese Government Railways line from Taketoyo, served by the route then nicknamed the Handa Line. The line was renamed the Tōkaidō Line in 1895 and the Tōkaidō Main Line in 1909. The original station, near Atsuta Port, was moved north to its present location next to Atsuta Shrine on 1 September 1896, and a canal was dug to maintain the port link. The second station building was destroyed in the Atsuta firebombing of May 1945; the third opened on 22 June 1947 and the present fourth-generation building in October 1982. JR Central took over at privatisation in 1987, and station numbering CA65 was introduced in March 2018.
Notes
Atsuta retains broad sidings used to stable special-train rolling stock — including the limited express Shirasagi's Hokuriku-bound sets — which run dead-heading between Nagoya and Atsuta for linen exchange and interior servicing.
