History

Shinkawabashi Station opened on 23 January 1914 as a station on the privately held Nagoya Electric Railway, now the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line. Staff were placed at the station in 1935, and the building was enlarged with longer platforms in August 1951. The station was damaged by Typhoon No. 26 in October 1955. From May 2002 to April 2004, while the adjacent Shinkawa river bridge was being replaced, the platforms were temporarily relocated onto the river itself to spare additional land acquisition. Tranpass entered service on 15 September 2004, the station becoming unattended at the same time, and Manaca IC ticketing began on 11 February 2011.

Notes

Around 1921, when factories multiplied in Nishi-Biwajima Town, Shinkawabashi's annual ridership briefly exceeded that of neighbouring Sukaguchi — but the timetable revision of 1 October 1928 made it a station that express trains passed through.
