History
Nawa Station (Meitetsu number TA06) opened on 18 February 1912 as Nawamura Station on the Aichi Electric Railway, in what is now Yonbanwari, Nawa-chō, Tōkai, Aichi. It joined the Meitetsu network on 1 August 1935 when the Aichi Electric Railway merged with Nagoya Tetsudō, and was renamed Nawa on 1 October 1947. Freight service ended in FY1960. The down platform was elevated on 27 August 1978 and the up platform on 1 April 1979, with a new station building opening on 6 May 1979. The current building was rebuilt and made barrier-free in November 1994 (a Hitachi Building Systems elevator was installed). The station became unstaffed on 3 December 2004 with the introduction of the Tranpass system and a central-management arrangement. The manaca IC card began on 11 February 2011; Tranpass ended on 29 February 2012; platform heightening was completed on 30 March 2018.

Notes
The Ōtagawa-side approach to Nawa is a 260-metre-radius curve where MU SKY services are limited to 70 km/h and other trains to 65 km/h; before the airport-line connection opened the limit had been 60 km/h.
