History

[edit]

Kokukei Station began as the Ikeda Signal Stop (池田信号場, Ikeda shingōsho) on 1 April 1940. It was opened as a full passenger station on 1 November 1952 as part of Japan National Railways. Between Kokokei Station and Jōkōji Station, the line runs through the Aigi Tunnel. This opened in 1966, as part of the doubling and electrification of the railway, replacing a series of tunnels on a route that ran closer to the edge of the river. On 1 April 1987, it became part of JR Tōkai.
