History

Masuo Station opened on January 30, 1929 as Nishi-Kuwana Station (西桑名駅, Nishi Kuwana eki) on the Ise Railway. It was renamed to its present name in 1930. The Ise Railway became the Sangu Express Electric Railway’s Ise Line on September 15, 1936, and was renamed the Nagoya Line on December 7, 1938. After merging with Osaka Electric Kido on March 15, 1941, the line became the Kansai Express Railway's Nagoya Line.[2] This line was merged with the Nankai Electric Railway on June 1, 1944 to form Kintetsu.[2]
