Location
History
Ōzone Station serves the northeastern part of Nagoya as the city's largest transport interchange outside of Nagoya and Kanayama stations. After the Tajimi–Nagoya section of the Chūō Line opened in 1900 without stopping locally, residents campaigned to fund land and embankment work for a station; the state railway demanded a private feeder line to Seto in return, and the Seto Jidō Railway, forerunner of the Meitetsu Seto Line, reached Ōzone in 1906 before the state railway's own station finally opened in 1911. A 7 April 1945 American bombing raid aimed at the adjacent Mitsubishi factory destroyed the station; thirty of the thirty-seven staff sheltering in an air-raid shelter were killed, but a hundred waiting passengers had been evacuated minutes earlier on an unscheduled train.
Notes
During the 7 April 1945 bombing raid, station staff loaded roughly 100 waiting passengers onto an unscheduled train to Kachigawa moments before the platforms were destroyed; the train arrived safely and every passenger was unharmed.
