Location
History
Machikata Station opened on 1 October 1924 as Kanehira Station on the privately operated Bisai Railroad, in what is now Aisai, Aichi Prefecture. The line was bought out by Meitetsu on 1 August 1925 and became the Meitetsu Bisai Line. The station was closed in 1944 and reopened under its present name in 1956. The platforms were reconstructed in 1974 and rearranged into their present configuration in 2004. The station now has two opposed side platforms connected by an underground passage, with automated Manaca turnstiles and ticket machines, and is unstaffed. In fiscal 2017 ridership averaged 1,338 boarding passengers daily; it lies 9.6 kilometres from the line's starting point at Yatomi.
