History
[edit]Taki Station opened on December 31, 1893, as Ōka Station (相可駅, Ōka eki) on the private Sangū Railway. The Sangū Railway was nationalized on October 1, 1907, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) system. On October 20, 1923, the Kisei East Line connected to the station, which was renamed Ōkaguchi Station (相可口駅, Ōkaguchi eki). The JGR became the Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II, and the station was renamed to its present name on July 15, 1959. The station was absorbed into the JR Central network upon the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987. Scheduled freight operations were discontinued from 2016.
Passenger statistics
[edit]In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 560 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[1]
