Location
History
Shūrakuen Station traces its origins to 16 February 1916, when the Aichi Electric Railway placed a temporary halt 300 metres north of today's site to handle visitors to the Shūrakuen plum garden, on land donated by garden proprietor Yamada Saikichi. The stop was formally opened on 10 May 1917 and moved to its present location in October 1942 to serve commuters to the Aichi Steel works. The Aichi Electric Railway merged into Meitetsu on 1 August 1935, bringing the station into the Tokoname Line. A down passing track opened on 13 July 1978, the freight siding to Aichi Steel closed on 1 January 1984, and the station has been unstaffed under remote management since 3 December 2004.
Notes
A 1.3-kilometre freight branch from Shūrakuen served the adjacent Aichi Steel works until it was discontinued in early 1984; the steel mill remains immediately south of the platforms.
