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 1 April 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).
Future plans
Construction of a new elevated station has been in progress since 2015.[1] Originally scheduled for a 2023 completion, the completion date has been pushed back to 2028 while the price of the project has increased to ¥79 billion (2021) (US$722 million) from its original cost of ¥61 billion (US$556 million).[1] The tracks for each of the lines will gradually be moved to the new station structure.[1] When completed, the station will compose of three levels with the platforms on the Nagoya Main Line on the 2nd level and the platforms for the Mikawa Line on the top level.[1]
