Location

History

Utsumi Station opened on 5 June 1980 as the terminus of the Meitetsu Chita New Line. Originally a two-platform, three-track layout, it was expanded to two platforms and four tracks in February 1986. The site itself was moved inland from an earlier seaside plan after land-purchase difficulties and the discovery during construction of the Mazukari shell midden, whose archaeological survey also pushed the opening date back to 1980. Tranpass magnetic ticketing arrived in July 2007, the manaca IC card in February 2011. The station became provisionally unstaffed from 25 May 2020 and was formally destaffed on 25 March 2023, with crew overnight accommodation within the station office remaining in use for conductors on early-morning and late-night services.

Notes

Utsumi is Minamichita Town's only railway station and the southernmost on the Meitetsu network. Despite the name it sits on a hill well inland; reaching the beach or central village takes more than fifteen minutes on foot.
