History

Sakuramachi-mae Station opened on 5 August 1928 as Chūgaku-mae on the Hekikai Electric Railway, in present-day Nishio City, Aichi Prefecture, taking its current name on 1 December 1949. A new station building was added around 1950–51, the station became unstaffed in March 1967, and the building was eventually removed around 1978. The number of expresses making special stops here was increased in April 1993, and the station became a regular express stop on 12 August the same year after lobbying from nearby Aichi Prefectural Nishio High School about commuting access. Tranpass entered service in November 2007, manaca followed in February 2011, and Tranpass was withdrawn in February 2012.

Notes

When the request was put to Meitetsu, the operator responded by stopping more expresses than the school had asked for — seven afternoon services in addition to two new morning stops — to handle commuting flows from the Gamagōri direction.
