Ushida (Aichi)

History

Ushida Station serves the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line in the city of Chiryū, Aichi, 40.9 kilometres from the line's eastern terminus at Toyohashi. It opened on 1 June 1923 as a station on the Aichi Electric Railway, which merged with the Nagoya Railroad (today's Meitetsu) on 1 August 1935. The station became unattended once before, then a new station building was completed in September 1992 and it was re-staffed. It was unattended again from 2004 and now runs under Meitetsu's centralised station management system administered from Chiryū. Limited expresses and rapid limited expresses pass through, and from 18 March 2023 the semi-express service's discretionary stop here was removed, leaving local trains only.
