History
Jinryō Station opened on 1943-10-01 as the Jinryō signal stop on the Chūō Main Line, and was upgraded to a provisional stop on 1949-07-11 before becoming a full passenger station on 1951-12-15, funded as a petition station by local residents. Operations passed to JR Central with the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1987-04-01. An elevated station building and north-south concourse opened in March 2008, replacing the single south-side entrance. The station now sits 376.1 km from Tokyo Station and serves the Chūō Line's Nagoya commuter corridor.
