History

Morikami Station opened on 17 February 1899 as a stop on the privately held Bisai Railway in present-day Inazawa, Aichi Prefecture, becoming part of the Meitetsu Bisai Line after Nagoya Railroad acquired the operator on 1 August 1925. The stop’s status fluctuated through the 1960s and 1970s, briefly serving express services before settling as a local-only stop by 1977. A freight branch to the Sankō Paper plant closed on 23 July 1978, and the 1939 station building was replaced in 2007. Manaca service began on 11 February 2011. A station-front rotary was completed in September 2015, and the station became fully unstaffed on 13 April 2024 — the first day no staffed stop existed on the Ichinomiya–Tsushima corridor.

Notes

A stone monument inscribed "Nihon-ichi Ichō no Sato" — "Japan's number-one ginkgo town" — was unveiled on the station's rotary on 5 November 2015 to celebrate Sobue's claim to the country's highest concentration of ginkgo trees.
