History
Kami-Marubuchi Station opened on 1 October 1924 as a stop on the privately held Bisai Railway in present-day Inazawa, Aichi Prefecture. Freight operations began on 1 January 1925, and ownership transferred to Nagoya Railroad when it absorbed the Bisai Railway on 1 August 1925. Freight handling ended in fiscal 1962, and the station became fully unstaffed on 1 March 1971. Tranpass-compatible automated turnstiles were installed on 14 March 2008, and the Manaca IC card followed on 11 February 2011, replacing Tranpass on 29 February 2012. The two opposed side platforms sit at the boundary of the partially double-tracked Bisai Line section between Tsushima and Morikami, and the stop carries Meitetsu number BS05.
