Location

History

Funamachi Station opened on 1 June 1927 as Shin-Funamachi Temporary Stop (新船町停留場) on the Toyokawa Railway, alongside the Aichi Electric Railway Toyohashi Line which shared the tracks into Toyohashi. On 1 August 1943 the Toyokawa Railway was nationalized; the stop became a full station on JNR's Iida Line and took the name Funamachi from a nearby freight station that was simultaneously merged into Toyohashi. The station has never handled freight or parcels. It became a delegated-management station in 1969 and unstaffed in February 1984; on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR Central. TOICA service began in 2010 and station number CD01 was assigned in 2018.

Notes

Although the Iida Line shares tracks with the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line between Toyohashi and Hirai Junction, every Meitetsu service runs through Funamachi without stopping.
