History

Sanage Station opened on 31 October 1924 on the privately built Mikawa Railway, in what is now Toyota, Aichi. The first station building was reportedly an out-of-service passenger-car body, and the line was extended beyond Sanage to Shidare in 1927 and Nishi-Nakagane in 1928. The current third-generation station building was completed in 1993. The Mikawa Railway was merged into Meitetsu on 1 June 1941. After the Nishi-Nakagane - Sanage segment was discontinued on 1 April 2004, Sanage once again became the line's terminus after 77 years, and the station became fully unstaffed on 1 July 2023.

Notes

When the Sanage-Nishi-Nakagane branch was active, the diesel railbuses used on it would lay over at Sanage between runs and refuel there.
