History
Homi Station opened on 31 January 1988 in the city of Toyota, Aichi Prefecture, on the third-sector Aichi Loop Railway, which had taken over the line from Japanese National Railways the previous year. The station initially carried the subsidiary name "Kaizu". When a separate Kaizu Station was opened on the same line on 1 March 2005 the sub-name was dropped and inherited by the new station. Homi was staffed (ticket-gate operation only) from 8 December 2003, a ticket machine was installed in December 2005, and the TOICA IC-card service began on 2 March 2019. The upper-line platform was extended from two cars to four during fiscal 1989.
