History
Shima-Ujinaga Station straddles the boundary between Inazawa and Ichinomiya in Aichi Prefecture and is served by the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line, 82.9 kilometres from the line terminus at Toyohashi. The site originally hosted two separate stops, Shima and Ujinaga, opened on 15 February 1924 to satisfy a request that each of the local districts get its own station. They were later consolidated as Yamato Station, and the combined stop took its present name on 1 September 1930. The two opposed side platforms remain unstaffed and offset, one in each city. In fiscal 2017 the station averaged 1,998 boarding passengers per day.

Notes
The two side platforms sit in different cities — one in Inazawa, the other in Ichinomiya — and are deliberately offset rather than directly opposite each other.
