Station history
Ushikubo Station was established on July 15, 1897; 127 years ago (1897-07-15) as a station on the now-defunct Toyokawa Railway (豊川鉄道, Toyokawa Tetsudō) connecting Toyohashi with Toyokawa.[1] On August 1, 1943, the Toyokawa Railway was nationalized along with some other local lines to form the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) Iida Line.[2] Due to the expansion of traffic at the nearby Toyokawa Naval Arsenal, the station buildingw was also rebuilt in 1943; this building survived the Toyokawa Air Raid and is still used as the station building to date. Scheduled freight operations were discontinued in 1971. Along with its division and privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control and operation of the Central Japan Railway Company (JR Tōkai).
Station numbering was introduced to the Iida Line in March 2018; Ushikubo Station was assigned station number CE04.[3][4]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2017, the station was used by an average of 877 passengers daily.[5]
