History
Owari-Yokosuka Station is a Meitetsu Tokoname Line station in Tōkai, Aichi Prefecture, 13.7 kilometres from the line's terminus at Jingū-mae. It opened on 18 February 1912 as a station on the Aichi Electric Railway, originally located slightly closer to Ōtagawa than the present site. The Aichi Electric Railway became part of the Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu) on 1 August 1935, and freight operations ended in fiscal 1970. The station moved to its current address in March 1990 for grade separation, with the new elevated structure entering service on 22 November 1992. From 29 January 2005 every limited express stops here. The station became barrier-free in 2006, manaca IC cards became available in 2011, and the station became fully unstaffed on 13 April 2024.

Notes
Although the elevated platforms can only accept six-car trains, the line still runs eight-car services through Owari-Yokosuka — the trailing two cars simply do not open their doors here.
