Ekaku

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Ekaku Station opened on 26 April 1976 as an unstaffed passenger halt on the Japanese National Railways Okata Line, which connected Okazaki with Shin-Toyota in Aichi Prefecture. The station was equipped with a single side platform from the outset. Following the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station briefly came under JR Central, and on 31 January 1988 the Okata Line was transferred to the third-sector Aichi Loop Railway Company and reopened as the Aichi Loop Line. TOICA IC-card service began on 2 March 2019. The station is one of the few stations on the line whose track remains at ground level, with provision (track bed and bridge abutments) already in place for possible future double-tracking.
