Kasadera Station, Railway station in Tetewakichō, Nagoya, Japan
Kasadera Station is an elevated railway station in Tetewakichō serving the Tōkaidō Main Line. The facility features two raised platforms linked by an overhead bridge and is located in Nagoya's Minami district.
The station opened in 1942 to support a military ordnance facility in the area. It sustained damage during the Nagoya Air Raid of 1945 and underwent major reconstruction in 1949.
The station links residential areas in Minami ward to central Nagoya, showing how railways shape daily life in Japanese suburbs. It serves as a connection point that helps local residents and commuters move between their neighborhoods and the city center.
The station connects to local bus services throughout the Minami district. Visitors need to use the overhead pedestrian bridge to access the platforms, as this is the only way to move between the levels.
This station functions as a terminal for the freight-only Nagoya Rinkai Railway Tōkō Line in addition to serving passenger trains. This dual role makes it an uncommon example of mixed passenger and cargo operations at a single location.
