Kozakai

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Kozakai Station opened on 13 March 1898 as a station on the now-defunct Toyokawa Railway, a private line connecting Toyohashi with Toyokawa in Aichi Prefecture. From 1 April 1926, the Aichi Electric Railway (later part of Meitetsu) also began service here, making the station a junction. The Toyokawa Railway was nationalised on 1 August 1943 to form part of the Iida Line. The Meitetsu branch closed in December 1954. Freight services ended in 1979, and with JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Central. A new station building was completed in February 2002, and station number CD03 was assigned in March 2018.

While the Nagoya Railroad Kozakai branch line was still in operation, it served as an important route during the New Year travel season for worshippers heading from the Meitetsu network to Toyokawa Station, near Toyokawa Inari.
