Chiryū Station (知立駅 Chiryū-eki) is a railway station operated by Meitetsu on both the Mikawa Line and Nagoya Main Lines, located in Chiryū, Aichi Prefecture Japan. It is located 41.3 kilometers from the terminus of the Nagoya Main Line at Toyohashi Station and is the terminus of the Mikawa Line.
History
The predecessor Chiryū Station was opened on April 1, 1923, as Shin Chiryū Station (新知立駅 Shin-Chiryū-eki) on the privately owned Aichi Electric Railway Company, but soon merged with nearby Chiryū Station (知立駅 Chiryū-eki) on the Mikawa Railway later that year. The Aichi Electric Railway Company was taken over by Meitetsu on August 1, 1935, becoming the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line, and the Mikawa Railway on June 1, 1941. Shin Chryū Station merged with the Chiryū Station (Main Line Side).
New station building was completed April 1, 1959, and named Chiryū Station, with the former Chiryū Station becoming Higashi Chiryū Station (東知立駅 Higashi-Chiryū-eki) (Main Line Side) and Mikawa Chiryū Station (三河知立駅 Mikawa-Chiryū-eki) (Mikawa Line Side).
