History

Torii Station was established on February 1, 1923 as a stop on the Hōraiji Railway in present-day Shinshiro, Aichi Prefecture. The Hōraiji Railway was nationalized on August 1, 1943 and folded into the Japanese Government Railways Iida Line. Scheduled freight handling ended in 1961, station operations were contracted out from May 16, 1963, and the station was made unstaffed on December 1, 1971. With the privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987 the station came under JR Central. The wooden building used since opening was replaced on December 21, 1996, and TOICA service began on March 15, 2025.

Notes

The station is named after Torii Suneemon, the Sengoku-era retainer whose execution near here during the 1575 Siege of Nagashino became a celebrated tale of bravery.
