Kō Station (国府駅 Kō-eki) is a railway station on the Meitetsu Nagoya Line and Toyokawa Line located in Toyokawa, Aichi, Japan. It is located 9.6 kilometers from the terminus of the Nagoya line at Toyohashi, and is a terminal station for the Meitetsu Toyokawa Line.
In year-end and new-year, this station is filled with people who visit Toyokawa Inari for Hatsumōde, the first shrine or temple visit of the year.
History
Kō Station was opened on April 1, 1926 as a station on the Aichi Electric Railway's Toyohashi Line connecting Toyohashi with Kozakai. On April 1, 1935, the Aichi Electric Railway merged with the Nagoya Railroad (the forerunner of present-day Meitetsu). A spur line to Toyokawa was opened on February 18, 1945. In December 1987, the station platforms were extended to be able to accommodate trains of six-carriages in length. The station building was rebuilt in 2008-2009.
