• Meitetsu Mikawa Line: Hekinan-chūō

Hekinan Station opened on 5 February 1914 as Ōhama-minato Station, the terminus of a line built by the Mikawa Railroad. A short freight spur to Ōhamaguchi Station ran from 1915 until it was discontinued in 1946. The line was extended south from 1926 toward Kira-Yoshida, making the station a through stop. The Mikawa Railroad merged into Nagoya Railroad in June 1941, and the station was renamed Hekinan on 1 April 1954. The Hekinan–Kira-Yoshida section was discontinued on 1 April 2004, returning the station to terminus status. The station has been unattended since 2005, and a third-generation station building was completed in March 2019.

A small heritage facility, the Hekinan Rail Park, was developed on the trackbed of the former Ōhamaguchi freight spur that closed in 1946; in 2021 the park was extended to reach Hekinan Station itself.
