History
Shin-Kanō Station opened on 21 January 1926 as a station on the Kakamigahara Railway, the same day Shin-Naka began service. The parent company was absorbed by Meigi Railway on 28 March 1935 and reorganised into Nagoya Railroad on 1 August of that year. The station became unstaffed on 16 July 1952 under Meitetsu's operational economies, well before similar measures spread across the network. The Transpass automated ticketing system arrived on 16 December 2006, replaced by the Manaca IC card on 11 February 2011. The station serves the historic Shin-Kanō post town on the old Nakasendō highway.
