Station history

Mikawa-Ichinomiya Station was established on July 22, 1897 as Ichinomiya Station (一の宮駅, Ichinomiya-eki)on the now-defunct Toyokawa Railway (豊川鉄道, Toyokawa Tetsudō). The station was renamed to its present name on January 1, 1916. On August 1, 1943, the Toyokawa Railway was nationalized along with some other local lines to form the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) Iida Line.[1] Scheduled freight operations were discontinued in 1971. Along with its division and privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control and operation of the Central Japan Railway Company (JR Tōkai). A new station building was completed in December 1990.

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2017, the station was used by an average of 745 passengers daily.[2]
