History
Taya Station opened on 29 March 1913 on the Aichi Electric Railway and joined the Meitetsu group at the August 1935 merger. The stop was closed in 1944 and reopened on 1 October 1949, then went unstaffed from 1 October 1972 once freight gave way to passenger traffic. The station was closed again from 26 January 2002 to 4 October 2003 while the line was elevated and the platforms were lengthened from four to six cars; Tranpass turnstiles followed in January 2005 and Manaca in February 2011. The 700 m gap to Tokoname Station is the shortest between any two stops on the Meitetsu Tokoname Line.
Notes
Taya outranked Rinkū-Tokoname, an express stop, in daily ridership every year from fiscal 2005 through fiscal 2014, despite being served only by local trains.
