History

Ōmori-Kinjōgakuin-mae Station opened on 2 April 1905 as Ōmori Station on the privately operated Seto Electric Railway, and was absorbed into the Meitetsu group on 1 September 1939. It was promoted to an express stop on 21 March 1982 and the station building was rebuilt two days later. A three-storey building over the station opened on 3 August 1992, and the station was renamed to its present, longest-on-the-Meitetsu-network name on 14 November 1992 to recognise that nearly half of patrons were students of Kinjo Gakuin University. A second (north) ticket gate opened on 18 September 2006 to improve barrier-free access, and Manaca IC ticketing began on 11 February 2011. The station became unattended again on 28 September 2024.

Notes

At twelve characters Ōmori-Kinjōgakuin-mae holds the record for the longest station name in the Meitetsu network — the name was chosen in 1992 because nearly half the daily ridership were Kinjo Gakuin University students.
