History
Horiuchikōen Station opened on July 1, 1926 on the Hekikai Electric Railway in Anjō, Aichi Prefecture, under the name Hekikai-Horiuchi Station. The line passed to the Meitetsu group on May 1, 1944. Becoming unstaffed on May 18, 1953, the station was earmarked for closure in 2006 as part of a Meitetsu plan to drop stops below 300 daily passengers, but Anjō City agreed to fund a 130-million-yen rebuild and local petitioning persuaded Meitetsu to keep it open. The new station building opened on November 8, 2007 and the station was renamed Horiuchikōen on June 29, 2008; manaca service began on February 11, 2011.
Notes
Meitetsu earmarked the station for closure in 2006 because its combined daily boardings and alightings stood at 300 or fewer, but the city of Anjō covered the 130-million-yen rebuild of the station building and a local petition drive secured its survival.
