History

Taya Station was opened on March 29, 1913 as a station on the Aichi Electric Railway Company. The Aichi Electric Railway became part of the Meitetsu group on August 1, 1935. The station was closed in 1944, but was reopened on October 1, 1949. The station has been unattended since October 1, 1979. The station was closed again from January 2002 to October 2003 due to construction which elevated the tracks and replaced the station building. In January 2005, the Tranpass system of magnetic fare cards with automatic turnstiles was implemented. ^[2]
