Future plans
[edit]Construction of a new elevated station has been in progress since 2015.[1] Originally scheduled for a 2023 completion, the completion date has been pushed back to 2028 while the price of the project has increased to ¥79 billion (2021) (US$722 million) from its original cost of ¥61 billion (US$556 million).[1] The tracks for each of the lines will gradually be moved to the new station structure.[1] When completed, the station will compose of three levels with the platforms on the Nagoya Main Line on the 2nd level and the platforms for the Mikawa Line on the top level.[1]
The first tracks that will be moved to the new facilities will be the southbound tracks (currently serving platform 6), which will be reassigned to platform 8 on the new elevated platform. As of December 2022, the move is scheduled to take place on 21 March 2023.[2]
