History
Yawata-shinden Station opened on 1 April 1931 as a stop on the privately held Chita Railway. Chita Railway was absorbed into Meitetsu on 1 February 1943, and the station has been unstaffed since 13 November 1950. Platforms were lengthened from four cars to six in 1980. A new station building and Meitetsu's centralised station-management system were introduced in March 2007, alongside the Tranpass magnetic-fare system; the manaca IC card began service on 11 February 2011, with Tranpass retired on 29 February 2012.

Notes
Despite being in Tōkai city, the station's name refers to a former parcel of reclaimed paddy land that today lies mostly inside neighbouring Chita city.
