Torii Station (Aichi)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Torii Station

Torii Station (鳥居駅, Torii-eki^?) is a railway station on the Iida Line in Shinshiro, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. The station is operated by Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central).

The station opened as a station of Hōraiji Railway, a predecessor operator of the Iida Line, on February 1, 1923. Hōraiji Railway was integrated into the Japanese Government Railways on August 1, 1943.^[1]

The station was named Torii because it is adjacent to the reported deathplace of Torii Suneemon, a samurai famed for his brave act and death by execution during the siege of Nagashino Castle (Battle of Nagashino) in 1575.^[2] The ruin of Nagashino Castle is adjacent to the neighboring Nagashinojō Station.

The unstaffed station has one side platform that serves trains of both directions.
