Location
History
Mino-Ōta Station opened on 12 November 1921 as the terminus of the Takayama Line's Kakamigahara extension. The Etsumi-Nan Line arrived on 5 October 1923 and the Taita Line on 1 October 1928, making it a three-line junction. Freight handling ended in 1982. The Etsumi-Nan Line was transferred to the third-sector Nagaragawa Railway on 11 December 1986, and the station passed to JR Central on 1 April 1987. A new building opened on 28 March 1998. From 1 October 2003 all Hida limited expresses began stopping; TOICA service started on 13 March 2010. Station numbering CG07 and CI00 was assigned in March 2018, and TOICA coverage extended toward Gero on 1 October 2025.
Notes
The Nagaragawa Railway side of the station has appointed a golden retriever 'sometime stationmaster' since 2014, with the dog seeing passengers off about once a week.
