Sangane Station (三ヶ根駅, Sangane-eki) is a railway station in the town of Kōta, Aichi Prefecture, Japan, operated by Central Japan Railway Company (JR Tōkai).
Sangane Station was opened on March 20, 1967, as a station on the Japan National Railway (JNR), after petitions by local residents over a period of more than seventeen years.
However, after the ropeway to the mountain was closed in 1976, and the Meitetsu Bus line connecting the station and the ropeway were also closed, the station no longer functions as the gateway to Mt.Sangane.
[1] Automated turnstiles using the TOICA IC Card system came into operation from November 25, 2006.
