History
Minami Kagiya Station serves the Meitetsu Kōwa Line in Tōkai, Aichi, 4.1 kilometres from the line's starting point at Ōtagawa, and is a rapid-express stop. It opened on 1 April 1931 as a station on the Chita Railway, which was absorbed into the Meitetsu group on 1 February 1943. Staff were assigned in April 1946, the station was upgraded to a semi-express stop on 25 December 1970, and the station building was rebuilt with a footbridge on 11 March 1983. Automated ticket gates arrived in May 1987 and ICOCA-compatible Manaca cards on 11 February 2011. After more than 75 years as a staffed station, Minami Kagiya became fully unattended on 23 December 2023 under Meitetsu's centralised management system run from Ōtagawa.
