History
Kōzōji Station, in Kasugai, Aichi Prefecture, opened on 25 July 1900 with the Nagoya–Tajimi section of the government railway and now serves as a junction between JR Central's Chūō Main Line and the Aichi Loop Railway. Operation passed to JR Central at the 1987 privatisation, and the Aichi Loop Railway began running through services on 31 January 1988. The elevated station has three island platforms with the concourse beneath; flood damage from the September 2000 Tōkai heavy rains briefly closed the underpass. In fiscal 2017 the JR side averaged 20,256 arriving passengers daily and the Aichi Loop Railway side 10,872, making it Kasugai's busiest station.
