. In 2019, Meitetsu announced a station refurbishment project which would add two new tracks in order to increase station capacity. In March 2025 Meitetsu laid out their plans for the reconstruction, estimated to cost about ¥540 billion. Plans call for the construction to begin at the end of fiscal 2025 and last until the 2040s. At the start of the project the existing Meitetsu Department Store, Meitetsu Grand Hotel and Meitetsu Bus Terminal will be closed and demolished. The end of the first phase of construction, scheduled for fiscal year 2033, will feature the opening of a new bus terminal and the shifting of Meitetsu trains to the two new tracks and platforms. All four tracks are scheduled to be in operation by the end of the project, with plans to have dedicated boarding platforms for μSky trains to
