• Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line: Jingū-mae ⇄ Yobitsugi

Horita Station (Meitetsu number NH32) opened on 15 April 1928 as a limited-express stop of the Aichi Electric Railway with a transfer to the Nagoya City tram, in Shinkai-chō, Mizuho-ku, Nagoya. It was relocated to its present site in July 1930 when the line was double-tracked and its curve eased. The Aichi Electric Railway merged with Nagoya Tetsudō (Meitetsu) on 1 August 1935. A south entrance was added on 25 February 1960, and in August 1965 the station received the first ticket vending machines in Japan that accepted 100-yen notes alongside 5/10/50-yen coins. The line was elevated in stages, with the down line opened on 28 April 1968 and the up line on 23 February 1969; a ten-storey reinforced-concrete station building opened on 29 February 1972. Automatic ticket gates were installed in May 1987, the Tranpass system began on 15 September 2004, barrier-free works finished on 23 March 2010, manaca service began on 11 February 2011, platform heightening was completed in March 2017, and the station became a 特殊勤務駅 (limited-staff station) on 27 December 2025.

When 100-yen-note ticket vending machines were installed at Horita in August 1965, they were the first ticket machines in Japan to accept banknotes.
