History
Shin Nittetsu-mae Station is a Meitetsu Tokoname Line station in Tōkai, Aichi Prefecture, 10.6 kilometres from the line's terminus at Jingū-mae. It opened on 18 February 1912 as Kake Station on the Aichi Electric Railway, becoming part of the Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu) group on 1 August 1935. The station was suspended in 1944 and reopened on 17 August 1964 as Tōkaiseitetsu-mae after the nearby Tōkai Steel works. It was renamed Fujiseitetsu-mae on 1 August 1967 when Tōkai merged into Fuji Steel, then took its present name on 31 March 1970 with the formation of Nippon Steel. The station has been unstaffed since March 2002, and the manaca IC card began service in 2011.
Notes
The station name preserves that of Nippon Steel Corporation (Shin Nippon Seitetsu), formed in 1970, and no renaming followed the company's 2012 merger into Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal or its 2019 change of name to Nippon Steel. Since the 1970 renaming the station has written its name with the modern kanji 鉄, whereas Nippon Steel Corporation and Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal both used the traditional form 鐵.
