History

Anoh Station (Sangi Railway number H08) opened on 5 April 1914 as a station on the Hokusei Railway in Tsukushi, Tōin, Inabe-gun, Mie. Through successive corporate changes the operator became Hokusei Electric Railway (27 June 1934), Mie Kōtsū (11 February 1944), Mie Electric Railway (1 February 1964), and Kintetsu (1 April 1965). The station was destaffed on 20 September 1973; on 29 September 1977 the platform was extended westwards by 2.0 m (from 56 m to 58 m); the original station building and toilets were demolished on 20 January 1982. Sangi Railway took over the Hokusei Line on 1 April 2003. On 1 September 2005 a new station building, platform, station forecourt and 60-space car park were opened on the south side of the line, with remote control from Tōin Station; on 21 September 2005 the station became a certified barrier-free facility under Mie Prefecture's accessibility ordinance.

Notes

Anoh's single bidirectional platform sits on large U-shaped concrete blocks topped with slab decking, leaving a usable shelter space underneath the platform itself.
