History

Ōnomachi Station opened on 18 February 1912 as Ōno Station, the original terminus of the Aichi Electric Railway's extension from Tenma-chō; it gained its present name before 1913 and became a through station on 29 March 1913 when the line was extended south to Tokoname. With the merger of Aichi Electric and Nagoya Tetsudō predecessors on 1 August 1935 it passed to today's Meitetsu group, and freight handling was discontinued in fiscal 1962. The wooden platforms were raised and lengthened from four to six cars in 1980, and the centralised management system made the stop unstaffed in January 2005.

Notes

Until the 1960s the station bustled with seasonal crowds bound for Ōno Beach, sometimes cited as one of the oldest sea-bathing spots in the world.
