Shiyakusho-Mae (Aichi)

History

The stop began around 1925 (early Shōwa era) as Eimon-mae Station on the Toyohashi Railroad's Higashida Main Line in Hatchō-dōri 3-chōme, Toyohashi, Aichi. It was abolished at an unrecorded date, then reopened around 1950 as part of postwar reconstruction under the name Kōkaidō-mae ("in front of the public hall") and was renamed Shiyakusho-mae ("in front of city hall") around 1951. The stop sits on shared track-and-road right-of-way (heiyō kidō) along National Route 1.

Notes

The stop is one of the few on the Higashida Main Line with sheltered safety zones on opposed sides of the road — the upbound and downbound boarding islands both stand within the Route 1 carriageway under their own canopies.
