• Meitetsu Nishio Line: Hekikai Furui ⇄ Sakurai (Aichi)

Horiuchikōen Station opened on July 1, 1926 on the Hekikai Electric Railway in Anjō, Aichi Prefecture, under the name Hekikai-Horiuchi Station. The line passed to the Meitetsu group on May 1, 1944. Becoming unstaffed on May 18, 1953, the station was earmarked for closure in 2006 as part of a Meitetsu plan to drop stops below 300 daily passengers, but Anjō City agreed to fund a 130-million-yen rebuild and local petitioning persuaded Meitetsu to keep it open. The new station building opened on November 8, 2007 and the station was renamed Horiuchikōen on June 29, 2008; manaca service began on February 11, 2011.

Meitetsu earmarked the station for closure in 2006 because daily boarding had fallen below 300, but the city of Anjō covered a 130-million-yen rebuild and a local petition drive secured its survival.
