History

Kannonji Station opened on 15 August 1928 on the Meitetsu Bisai Line at Kannonji, Ichinomiya, Aichi Prefecture, thanks to lobbying by the chief priest of the nearby (now defunct) Kannon-ji temple. Service was suspended in 1944 and the station reopened, unstaffed, on 22 July 1950. On 1 June 1966 the official reading of the station name was changed from "Kan'on-ji" to "Kannon-ji". The Tranpass magnetic card was introduced on 14 December 2007, the Manaca IC card came into service on 11 February 2011, and Tranpass operation ended on 29 February 2012. The old south-side station building and platform were withdrawn from use on 25 October 2024, and a new north-side building and platform began service the next day, 26 October 2024, with a new station forecourt rotary and bicycle parking added at the same time.

Notes

Although it is a fully unstaffed station, the platform of the Ichinomiya-bound side gets so crowded on weekday mornings — and, with the station only one stop from the line's terminus, the trains themselves arrive filled with people — that staff are sometimes posted to check passenger safety.
