Station history

Tsushima Station was opened on April 3, 1893, as a terminal station of the privately owned Bisai Railroad, on the same day as the opposing terminal, Yatomi Station, and Saya Station. Meitetsu bought the Bisai Railroad on August 1, 1925.[1] On October 25, 1932, former Shin-Tsushima Station on Meitetsu's Tsushima Line was rebuilt as part of Tsushima Station. The tracks were elevated and station rebuilt in 1968.

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2015, the station was used by an average of 1608 passengers daily.[2]

gollark: I see.
gollark: It's apparently possible to see what people are seeing by reading their brain activity in an MRI scanner now, but those are hardly conducive to sleep and dreams probably don't use the same hardware.
gollark: Dream journal things, plausibly.
gollark: I don't think you can meaningfully do that. Atoms are smaller than the wavelength of visible light. It wouldn't make sense.
