History
First proposed in 1926, construction of the line was started by the Mikawa Railway in 1932, but abandoned in 1937 due to management issues. Construction restarted in 1973 following an agreement for through-running with the Nagoya Subway Tsurumai Line, and the line opened in 1979, dual-tracked and electrified at 1,500 V DC.
