The name "Aigi Tunnel" as a portmanteau of "Aichi" and "Gifu" because the tunnel is on the border between Aichi (Ai-) Prefecture and Gifu (-gi) Prefecture.

History

Construction was completed in January 1925. On April 24th of the same year, the former Nagoya Railroad company's Imawatari Line (renamed to Hiromi Line in 1929) from Inuyama Station to Imawatari Station (renamed to Nihon Rhine Imawatari Station in 1969) opened, together with the tunnel. When it was opened it could support two tracks, but at the time only had one. Another track was added in 1969.
