History

The line was opened in 1924 by the Aichi Electric Railway, electrified at 1,500 V DC, to service the Nagoya Port. The company merged with Meitetsu in 1935. The line was double-tracked in 1939, but after being damaged by Typhoon Vera in 1959, the line was repaired as a single track.^{[citation needed]}

At the start of the March 16, 2024, timetable revision, the fleet of 5000 series four-car trains used on the line were replaced with 3100 series, 3150 series, and 9100 series two-car sets.^[1]
