history
The Atsumi Dentetsu railway company started operating the Atsumi line in several stages in 1924/25 , including the section between Kanbe and Tahara on June 10, 1924. The station was given its current name Mikawa-Tahara on June 1, 1925. On April 10, 1926, the route was extended by another 2.8 km from Mikawa-Tahara to Kurokawabara. Through a merger, the Atsumi line went into the possession of the Nagoya Tetsudō railway company on September 1, 1940 . In order to support the rationing measures during the Pacific War , the government declared the section to Kurokawabara as "non-urgent," which is why rail traffic there had to be suspended on June 5, 1944. Mikawa-Tahara had become the end of the line again. Since a restructuring of the Meitetsu group on October 1, 1954, Toyohashi Tetsudō, which belongs to the same group, is responsible for the Atsumi line. Freight traffic was discontinued in the 1980s and the old station building was replaced by a new one in 2013.
