Shinkawa (Aichi)

History

The stop opened on 14 July 1925 as Shinmei Stop, originally serving as the junction between the Higashida Main Line and the Yagyūbashi branch line. It was later renamed Shinkawa (date unrecorded). On 7 March 1976 the Yagyūbashi branch was abolished and the safety island on the branch side was removed.
