History
Toyohashi Station opened 1 September 1888.[1] The privately owned Toyokawa Railway began operations to Toyohashi on 15 July 15 1897, but renamed its terminus Yoshida Station (吉田駅) in 1899 to differentiate itself from the government railway system. The station building was rebuilt in 1916 and again in 1927. The Aichi Electric Railway's Toyohashi Line began operations to the Yoshida Station side of the facility on 1 June 1927. This line became part of Meitetsu on 1 August 1935, and is now the Nagoya Main Line.[2] The Toyokawa Railway was nationalized on 1 August 1943, becoming the Iida Line, and the usage of ‘Yoshida Station’ was dropped. The station was destroyed in the Toyohashi Air Raid of 20 June 1945, during World War II.
After the war, the JGR became the Japanese National Railways (JNR), and a new station was completed in 1950.[citation needed] The Tokaido Shinkansen opened on 1 October 1964. A new station building was completed in 1970.[citation needed]
With the privatization and dissolution of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Central. A shopping center and a hotel were added to the station building complex in 1997.[citation needed]
Station numbering was introduced to the section of the Tōkaidō Line operated JR Central as well as the Iida Line in March 2018; Toyohashi Station was assigned station number CA42 for the Tōkaidō Line and CD00 for the Iida Line.[3][4]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2017, the JR portion of the station was used by an average of 29,045 passengers daily (arriving passengers only) and the Meitetsu portion by 17,479.[5]
