History

Mikawa Chiryū Station opened on 28 October 1915 as the original Chiryū Station of the Mikawa Railway, then a terminus. The competing Aichi Electric Railway built Shin-Chiryū nearby in 1923, and after Meitetsu — itself formed out of Aichi Electric — absorbed the Mikawa Railway on 1 June 1941, the two stations were combined that August as the second-generation Chiryū. When the present Chiryū (third generation) opened on 1 April 1959, the old station was split by line: the Mikawa Line side was renamed Mikawa Chiryū. Freight ended in 1965, the station was de-staffed in 2001 and Manaca was introduced in 2011. On 16 March 2024 the station moved roughly 900 m east to Yamamachi-Chausuyama as part of the Chiryū grade-separation project.

Notes

From April 1994 the local cartoonist Uno Kamakiri ran an unattended permanent 'Mujin-eki' (Manga Gallery) on the old station notice boards; a revival exhibition ran for six weeks before the 2024 relocation.
