History

The line was opened in 1931, with the Kamiiida to Komaki section electrified at 600 V DC in 1942, and the section to Inuyama electrified in 1947. CTC signalling was commissioned on the 4 km section between Komaki and Buzan (since closed) in 1954, being the first use of this system by Meitetsu, and the voltage was increased to 1,500 V DC in 1964. The line was double-tracked in stages between 1977 and 2003.
