Notes
Kawamiya is an unstaffed elevated stop with two opposed side platforms and two tracks (station number Y06). Like the other stops between here and Shirosawa Keikoku Station, elevators and stairs are provided on each side for one direction only, so passengers cannot cross between platforms without leaving the station. Nearby landmarks include the Asahi Breweries Nagoya factory, Ryūsenji Highway (Aichi Prefectural Route 30), Obata Castle, Yamashita Park and the Nagoya City Moriyama Pool.
