History
Handa Station was opened on March 1, 1886 as a passenger and freight station on the Japanese Government Railways-operated Handa Line.Template:Sfn The station was opened as a part of a branch line connecting Atsuta Station with Taketoyo Station, and is one of the oldest stations in Aichi Prefecture. The station was relocated to the south and expanded to the current-day location in 1896.Template:Sfn On October 12, 1909, the section of the line from Ōbu to Taketoyo was split and named as Taketoyo Line.[1] In November 1910, an overpass connecting the platforms was completed. The station building was expanded and rebuilt in 1912.Template:Sfn
The JGR became the Japan National Railway (JNR) after World War II. Freight operations were discontinued from November 15, 1975 and small parcel operations from February 1, 1984. With the privatization and dissolution of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of the Central Japan Railway Company.Template:Sfn Automatic turnstiles were installed in May 1992, and the TOICA system of magnetic fare cards was implemented in November 2006.Template:Sfn The Taketoyo Line was electrified in 2015 and steps were taken to construct the overhead lines such that the overpass was preserved.[2] Station numbering was introduced to the Taketoyo Line in March 2018; Handa Station was assigned station number CE07.[3][4]
