History

Prior to the opening of the Toyota Line, the existing ways to move between the city of Toyota and Nagoya by rail was to take a detour south via Meitetsu Mikawa Line or the Okata Line.[4] This inconvenience affecting the city and the nearby municipalities of Tōgō and Nisshin,[5] made the population of the city use cars instead.[6]

Stations

All stations are in Aichi Prefecture. While the nominal terminus of the line is at Umetsubo Station, trains (and passengers) continue past this to terminate at Toyotashi Station.
