History
Ōe Station was opened on 10 May 1917, as a station on the Aichi Electric Railway Company. On 15 January 1924, a spur line to Nagoya Port, the Meitetsu Chikkō Line began operations. The Aichi Electric Railway became part of the Meitetsu group on 1 August 1935. Semi-express train service was discontinued from 29 October 1990. Later that year, the dedicated Chikkō Line platform was completed. A new station building was completed in December 2004, at which time the Tranpass system of magnetic fare cards with automatic turnstiles was implemented.[2] This station was made a standard, permanent stop from 29 January 2005. The platforms for the Chikkō Line were extended on 3 October 2009.[3]
