History
Rokken Station opened on 21 January 1926 as Rokuken Station (六軒駅, read "Rokuken") on the Kakamigahara Railway, in what is now Sohara Rokken-chō 4-chōme, Kakamigahara, Gifu Prefecture. The operator was absorbed into Meigi Railway on 28 March 1935 and Meigi became Meitetsu (Nagoya Railroad) on 1 August 1935. The station was renamed Hikōdan-mae (飛行団前駅) some time on or before 1 October 1937, and on 1 December 1938 it was renamed Rokken (六軒駅, this time read "Rokken"). The station building was damaged in the Kakamigahara air raid on 22 June 1945. The current building was completed on 14 October 1983, lengthening the platform from 80 to 120 m for six-car operation. The station became unstaffed with the introduction of the centralised management system on 27 February 2007, the Tranpass common stored-fare card system was introduced on 14 March 2007, manaca service began on 11 February 2011, and Tranpass service ended on 29 February 2012. It is station KG07.
Notes
The station name 六軒 ("six houses") is said to come from there having been only six private dwellings in the vicinity. It opened as Rokuken, was renamed Hikōdan-mae ("in front of the flying brigade") on or before 1 October 1937 — the Gifu Air Field lies close by — and on 1 December 1938 took the name Rokken, the same characters with a changed reading.
