History

Mitake Station opened on 1 April 1952 as the dedicated passenger terminus of the Meitetsu Hiromi Line, serving central Mitake town in Gifu Prefecture. Coal-mine freight traffic from the area continued to use the older Mitakeguchi Station, which had carried the Mitake name until the new station's opening. The station was de-staffed on 29 June 2008. A renovation of the building was completed in March 2009 and it reopened on 1 April 2009 as the Mitake Town Tourist Information Centre. On 16 May 2009 a Meitetsu 7000-series 'Panorama Car' returned to the station as a chartered special for the first time in nine years. Mitake is the highest-altitude station on the Meitetsu network.

Notes

Mitake sits at the highest elevation of any station on the Meitetsu network, and Mitake-to-Gamagōri shares the title for the system's most expensive single-trip fare with the Kamiiida-Gamagōri pairing.
