Location
History
Kintetsu Tomida Station opened on 30 January 1929 as Nishi-Tomida Station on the Ise Electric Railway's Yokkaichi–Kuwana section. The Ise Electric Railway was absorbed into Sangū Express Electric Railway on 15 September 1936, becoming its Nagoya-Ise Main Line. On 15 March 1941 Ōsaka Electric Tramway absorbed Sangū Express, creating Kansai Express Railway; the station was renamed Kankyū-Tomida and the line was redefined as the Nagoya Line. On 1 June 1944 Kansai Express Railway merged with Nankai Railway to form Kintetsu and the station became Kinki-Nippon-Tomida Station. On 1 July 1965 Sangi Railway opened Tomida-Nishiguchi Station, treated as one and the same with Kinki-Nippon-Tomida, and on 1 March 1970 the station was renamed Kintetsu Tomida. On 25 June 1970 Sangi Railway opened its Kintetsu connecting line, branching off the Sangi Line at Sangi-Asake (today a signal box) to run physically into Kintetsu Tomida; from 14 March 1985 all passenger trains on the Sangi Line have used Kintetsu Tomida, and Sangi Line services to Tomida Station on JR Central's Kansai Main Line, about 300 m east, are freight only. PiTaPa IC service began on 1 April 2007, the west-side station building entered service on 29 November 2008, and the west plaza was completed on 6 April 2009. Station numbers are E17 (Kintetsu) and S01 (Sangi Line).
Notes
The Sangi Railway-managed west station building, opened November 2008, is shaped like a whale in commemoration of the local Tomida-no-Kujirabune (whaling-boat) festival listed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage element; passengers enter through what is treated as the whale's mouth, and the roof carries a solar-power system.
