History
Hitsu Station opened on 5 December 1935 as a simple, unstaffed halt on the Japanese Government Railways Meishō Line when the section between Ieki and Ise-Okitsu was opened to traffic. Local residents lobbied for the stop, built a station building themselves, and donated it to the railway in August 1947, after which two staff were assigned from 1 October 1947. Staffing ended again in December 1951 when baggage handling was abolished. With JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987 the station became part of JR Tōkai. After Typhoon Melor damaged the line in October 2009 it was bus-replaced until rail service resumed on 26 March 2016. The old wooden waiting room was replaced in autumn 2007.
Notes
The station building exists at all because villagers of the former Hachi-mura raised the money to construct it themselves and donated the finished structure to the railway ministry in August 1947.
