Location
History
Kō Station opened on 1 April 1926 in Hazenji, Kubo-chō, Toyokawa, Aichi, when the Aichi Electric Railway's Toyohashi Line was inaugurated from Higashi-Okazaki to Kozakai. On 1 August 1935 the merger of Meigi Railway and Aichi Electric Railway brought it under Meitetsu. The Toyokawa City Line (today's Toyokawa Line) branched off here from 18 February 1945. Freight operations were withdrawn in fiscal 1965. On 23 December 1987 the station became an overhead-concourse structure and platforms 5 and 6 were lengthened from four-car to six-car capacity. From 21 March 2000 two limited-express services per hour began making a special stop at Kō, and from 29 January 2005 it was formally promoted to a limited-express stop alongside Shin-Anjō, with the previous through limited expresses upgraded to rapid limited expresses. The Tranpass magnetic-ticket system entered service on 15 March 2005. Barrier-free works delivered platform elevators and an accessible toilet from March 2008, and new west- and east-exit elevators completed the upgrade in March 2009.
Notes
Kō Station sits in the middle of about an 8 km straight stretch of track (the longest at-grade straight section on any private railway in Japan), and the through points are not speed-restricted, so rapid limited expresses passing through routinely do so at close to 120 km/h.
