History
Jingū-mae Station opened on 31 August 1913 as the terminus of the Aichi Electric Railway, in Atsuta-ku, Nagoya, immediately east of Atsuta Shrine. With the railway's extension on 7 March 1917 it became the Nagoya-side terminus of what is now the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line and the start of the Tokoname Line. A west-side entrance opened in 1934 and gained its own platforms — known informally as the west station — in 1942; those platforms closed in 1965, when freight interchange at Jingū-mae ended and the freight business passed to the Nagoya Rinkai Railway. The current bridge-style station building dates from 1978, and the platforms were reconfigured in 1984 from a by-line layout to the present by-direction layout. Quadruple-tracking through to Kanayama was completed on 1 April 1990.
Notes
In 1984 a bomb threat closed the station for two days and cost it an estimated US$200 in lost revenue — a striking footnote to one of Meitetsu's main stations, at which every service stops.
