History
Kanō Station opened on 2 June 1914 as Arata-machi Station (安良田町駅) of the Mino Electric Tramway, in what is now Tatsuta-machi 9-chōme, Gifu City, Gifu Prefecture. The station was suspended in 1944 and reopened on 10 January 1958 (note: the JA extract gives 1958-01-10 explicitly; the EN article's January 1959 differs from JA, and JA is taken as authoritative) under its present name, Kanō Station — the second-generation Meitetsu station to bear that name. It was made unstaffed on 16 February 1985 and lost its Junkyū-stop status with the 29 October 1990 timetable revision. manaca service began on 11 February 2011. The Toranpasu IC system ended on 29 February 2012. It is station NH59 on the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line, with a six-car island platform serving two tracks; only local (普通) trains stop here.

Notes
The 0.4 km between Kanō and the neighbouring Chajo (茶所) Station is the shortest distance between any two stations on the Meitetsu network; under the planned grade-separation project for the Ginan - Meitetsu Gifu section, the two stations are slated to be abolished and replaced by a new combined station.
