• Meitetsu Hiromi Line: Akechi (Meitetsu) ⇄ Nihonrain-Imawatari

The station opened on 28 December 1918 as Hiromi Station on the Tono Railway and moved to its present site on 1 October 1928 with regauging from 762 mm to 1067 mm. After a 1930 split from the JNR co-shared station it became Shin-Hiromi Station of Meitetsu and Tomi Railway, and was renamed Shin-Kani on 1 April 1982 when Kani gained city status. Through-running between the Inuyama and Mitake sides of the Hiromi Line was progressively reduced and ended on 29 June 2008, after which a mid-platform fare-gate was installed at the Mitake-bound bay. The station became a 'special duty' staffing arrangement on 30 September 2023.

Although Shin-Kani is a through station on the Hiromi Line, its bay-platform switchback layout means Inuyama- and Mitake-bound trains depart in the same direction; the line's tracks are physically severed inside the station.
