Location
History
Hitotsugi Station opened on 1 April 1923 as an Aichi Electric Railway station serving Saifuku-ji, the second of the three Mikawa San-Kōbō pilgrimage temples. A temple-style waiting room called the Gochidō was completed on the Chiryū-bound platform side on 15 February 1924; it was removed soon after the war and replaced with another temple-style station building, itself in turn demolished when the present building was constructed. On 1 August 1935 the station passed to Nagoya Railroad with its formation through merger with Meigi Railway. On 24 November 1958 a three-wheeled truck collided with a limited-express train at a level crossing in the station yard and the train burned out — the "Hitotsugi Station collision fire". The station was de-staffed on 16 March 1970. From the 27 March 2003 timetable revision the number of trains stopping at the station roughly doubled. The current station building dates from 15 September 2004, when Tranpass service also began. Manaca IC cards began service on 11 February 2011, and Tranpass service ended on 29 February 2012. The station code is NH20.
