Station history

Anjō Station was opened 16 June 1891 when the section of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) line connecting Okazaki with Kariya was completed. This line was named Tōkaidō Line in 1895, and the Tōkaidō Main Line in 1909. An all-freight spur line operated by the privately held Hekinan Electric Railway connected Anjō to Hekinan in 1939 and began passenger operations from March 1951, but was discontinued in 1961. In October 1980, the JNR discontinued all freight services to Anjō Station. With the privatization and dissolution of the JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of the Central Japan Railway Company. At that time, an additional side platform was constructed.

Station numbering was introduced to the section of the Tōkaidō Line operated JR Central in March 2018; Anjō Station was assigned station number CA54.[1][2]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2017, the station was used by an average of 11,619 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[3]
