    History

    Hitsu Station was opened on December 5, 1935 as a station on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) (which became the Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II). Freight services were suspended from October 1965. The station has been unattended since April 1, 1986. Along with the division and privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control and operation of the Central Japan Railway Company. The station building was torn down in 2007.

    Between October 8, 2009 and March 26, 2016, the section between Ieki Station and Ise-Okitsu Station was closed due to damage from Typhoon Melor. During this time, a bus line served this station.[1][2]

    gollark: Apparently US police get way less training than in most other countries.
    gollark: Not very well, one would assume.
    gollark: I mean, lots of countries have populism something something going on. We got Boris and Brexit, and… actually I have no idea about other countries, maybe it's an änglosphere thing.
    gollark: Trump is probably just exploiting something something populism.
