Station history

Aichi-Mito Station first opened on September 1, 1888, as Goyu Station (御油駅, Goyu-eki) when the section of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) line connecting Hamamatsu with Ōbu was completed. From April 1, 1895, this became the Tōkaidō Main Line. The station was burned down during the Toyokawa Air Raid of 1945, and a new station building was completed in April 1948. The JGR became the JNR after World War II and on August 1, 1948, the station name was changed to its present name. Regularly scheduled freight services were discontinued in 1971, and parcel services by 1984. With the dissolution and privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of the Central Japan Railway Company (JR Tōkai). Automated turnstiles using the TOICA IC Card system came into operation from November 18, 2001.

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2017, the station was used by an average of 1362 passengers daily.[1]

gollark: ```Hoop Snake can fly and crawl fine, but he would much rather move by grasping his tail in his jaws and rolling around like a wheel. He looks extremely silly but can also move terrifyingly fast, but that is only because he manipulates time so viewers think he's wheeling faster and more gracefully than he really is. He's really a strange dragon with a head full of tall tales. His greatest adversaries are trees, which he tends to clumsily impale while rolling around the forest.```
