History
Narumi Station opened on 8 May 1917 as a stop on the Aichi Electric Railway between Jingū-mae and Arimatsu-ura. The Aichi Electric Railway merged into Meitetsu on 1 August 1935, bringing the station into the Nagoya Main Line. Narumi long served as a major eastern hub: a depot and Nichinan-affiliated repair works opened beside the platforms in 1930, and the station was rebuilt several times before being elevated between 2004 and 2006. The current elevated station opened on 25 November 2006, with manaca contactless fares introduced on 11 February 2011 and reconstruction of the southern bus plaza completed in 2009.

Notes
Until the early 2000s, Narumi housed Meitetsu's eastern works alongside the Nippon Sharyō factory; rolling-stock repair functions were moved to Maiki-Kensa-jō in Okazaki ahead of the 2006 elevation.
