History
Jimokuji Station opened on 23 January 1914 on the Nagoya Electric Railway's Tsushima Line, with the station building completed the following year. A new south-side ticket hall opened on 1 October 1975. Tranpass entered service on 15 July 2004, and on 27 December 2008 a timetable revision brought limited express trains to a stop here for the first time, making the station a full-stop for every revenue service on the Tsushima Line. Manaca IC ticketing began on 11 February 2011, and a north-side station building opened on 26 March 2011. Today Jimokuji is the busiest station within Ama City and the only attended station within the municipality.
