History

Mikawa-Anjō Station opened on 13 March 1988 alongside Shin-Fuji, Kakegawa, Shin-Onomichi, and Higashi-Hiroshima as one of five new Tōkaidō and Sanyō Shinkansen stops. The site, in the city of Anjō, Aichi Prefecture, was selected on 5 January 1984 by the Aichi prefectural government from several candidates put forward by twelve surrounding municipalities, and construction began on 29 July 1985. The approximately ¥13.7 billion project was financed locally, with Anjō City covering roughly half. The Tōkaidō Shinkansen platforms sit on passing loops above the existing Tōkaidō Main Line, and the station serves as an overtaking stop where Nozomi and Hikari services pass slower Kodama trains. Station numbering CA55 was assigned to the conventional Tōkaidō Line platforms in March 2018.

Notes

Westbound Nozomi and Hikari services pass Mikawa-Anjō without stopping, but announce it in the cars all the same: the on-board announcement tells passengers that the train has just passed Mikawa-Anjō and will reach Nagoya in nine minutes.
