History
Shigō Station is a railway stop on the third-sector Aichi Loop Line in the city of Toyota, Aichi Prefecture, located 23.5 kilometres from the line's starting point at Okazaki. It opened on 31 January 1988 with the launch of the Aichi Loop Railway Company. Originally unstaffed, the station was made staffed on 19 May 2005, ticket vending machines were installed on 20 March 2006, the up-line safety siding was abolished on 31 January 2015, and TOICA support began on 2 March 2019. The station has a single island platform on an embankment with the station building underneath, and most trains pass each other here.
