History

Marubuchi Station opened on 18 February 1912 as a station on the privately held Bisai Railroad, in what is now Inazawa, Aichi Prefecture. The Bisai Railroad was acquired by Meitetsu on 1 August 1925 and the route became the Meitetsu Bisai Line. The station was a limited-express stop in 1968 but was progressively downgraded through the 1960s and 1970s, eventually becoming a local-only stop. Staffed operations ended in March 1971. The passing loop was abolished on 18 February 1971 and the line was double-tracked through Marubuchi on 17 March 1974. Tranpass card service began on 14 March 2008 and Manaca on 11 February 2011.

Notes

Marubuchi was promoted to express status three times and demoted three times within a span of ten years between 1968 and 1977, reflecting a Bisai-Line stopping pattern that kept shifting as parallel Tokaido Main Line services siphoned away regional passengers.
