History
Kita-Okazaki Station was opened on 1 October 1970 as the Kita-Okazaki Signal Station on the Japanese National Railways' Okata Line, and was upgraded to a freight station on 1 October 1971, primarily to serve Toyota Motor's nearby factories and their suppliers. Scheduled passenger services began on 26 April 1976. The 1 April 1987 privatisation of the JNR placed the station briefly under JR Central, and on 31 January 1988 it transferred to the Aichi Loop Railway when the Okata Line was converted to the third-sector Aichi Loop Line. Freight handling ended in stages and ceased entirely on 1 April 2010. The station has two elevated side platforms serving two tracks, with TOICA support added on 2 March 2019.
Notes
Kita-Okazaki began as a signal station on the Okata Line in October 1970 and opened as a freight station a year later, serving nearby factories of Toyota Motor and its affiliates; scheduled passenger service did not begin until April 1976.
