History

Hisai Station opened on November 10, 1908 as a station on the Dai Nippon Kido’s Ise Line, which was renamed the Chusei Railway in 1920. The Sangu Express Electric Railway's Tsu Line connected to the station on May 18, 1930. The Tsu Line was renamed the Nagoya Line on December 7, 1938. On March 15, 1941, the Sangu Express Electric Railway merged with Osaka Electric Railway to become a station on Kansai Express Railway's Nagoya Line. [2] This line in turn was merged with the Nankai Electric Railway on June 1, 1944 to form Kintetsu.[2] The Chusei Railway went out of business on December 1, 1942. The station was rebuilt in November 1997.
