Location

History

Yakusa Station opened on 31 January 1988 as part of the Aichi Loop Railway when the third-sector operator's Shin-Toyota–Kōzōji link was inaugurated. The Aichi Loop station was renamed Banpaku-Yakusa ("Expo Yakusa") on 10 October 2004. The Aichi Rapid Transit's Tōbu Kyūryō Line (Linimo) opened its own station, which likewise opened under the name Banpaku-Yakusa, on 6 March 2005 in time for the 2005 World Exposition (Expo 2005), making Yakusa the eastern terminus of the urban maglev. The Aichi Loop station reverted to plain Yakusa on 1 October 2005 and Linimo followed on 1 April 2006. During Expo 2005 the station handled overflow Expo traffic with temporary platforms and bus connections, scaled back after the event closed.

Notes

Aichi Loop platforms here are 10-car-length, a legacy of the Expo Shuttle services during the 2005 World Exposition; current scheduled trains are only four cars long.
