Location
History
Inba Station opened on 2 April 1905 as a station on the privately operated Seto Electric Railway, which was absorbed into the Meitetsu group on 1 September 1939. It was closed from 1944 to 1946 because of the Second World War, and was closed again on 5 April 1969. As surrounding residential development picked up, Meitetsu reopened the station on 22 December 1995, about 200 metres toward the Sakae-machi end of the line from its original site. A centralised station management system arrived on 24 August 2006 and the station became unattended; Manaca IC ticketing began on 11 February 2011. An accessible toilet and elevators were brought into service on 30 March 2023.
Notes
In the ten years after Inba was reopened in December 1995, Meitetsu did not open another new station on any of its existing lines.
