History

The Sangū Railway started service with its initial line between Tsu Station and Miyagawa Station on December 31, 1893. However, Rokken Station was not completed by that date, and only began operations on January 10, 1894.^[1] The line was nationalized on October 1, 1907, becoming the Sangu Line of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) on October 12, 1909.

On October 15, 1956, a crash involving two passenger trains occurred at the station. The Rokken rail accident killed 42 people.^[2] The station was transferred to the control of the Japan National Railways (JNR) Kisei Main Line on July 15, 1959. All freight operations were discontinued in 1962. The station has been unattended since December 21, 1983. The station was absorbed into the JR Central network upon the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987.
