History
The predecessor Chiryū Station was opened on April 1, 1923, as Shin Chiryū Station (新知立駅, Shin-Chiryū-eki) on the privately owned Aichi Electric Railway Company, but soon merged with nearby Chiryū Station (知立駅, Chiryū-eki) on the Mikawa Railway later that year. The Aichi Electric Railway Company was taken over by Meitetsu on August 1, 1935, becoming the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line, and the Mikawa Railway on June 1, 1941. Shin Chryū Station merged with the Chiryū Station (Main Line Side).
A new station was completed on April 1, 1959, and named Chiryū Station, with the former Chiryū Station becoming Higashi Chiryū Station (東知立駅, 東知立駅, Higashi-Chiryū-eki) (Main Line Side) and Mikawa Chiryū Station (三河知立駅, Mikawa-Chiryū-eki) (Mikawa Line Side).
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2017, the station was used by an average of 33,102 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[1]
